What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionDuctal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is considered to be related to the development of invasive breast cancer. The aim of molecular biological research of preinvasive breast lesion characteristics and comparison with normal tissues and tissue of invasive tumours is to identify patients at high risk of developing invasive tumour on the basis of already established preinvasive lesions, and thus influence clinical decision-making. The aim of our study was to analyse several key molecules involved in different cellular pathways important for cancer development and progression in different types of breast tissue and to describe similarities and differences between premalignant and malignant lesions. MATERIAL AND
methodsGenetic material isolated from both the tumour and healthy tissue was examined by loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analysis and real-time PCR using collagen 2A as a house-keeping gene.
resultsWe analysed 65 samples of healthy mammary gland, 25 DCIS and 42 invasive ductal breast cancer samples. We analysed the LOH in three genes: BRCA1, BRCA2 and p53; and the gene expression of the VEGF gene and Bcl-2 gene. LOH in the BRCA1 gene was present in 44.74% of invasive samples and in 8.69% of DCIS (p=0.026); LOH in the BRCA2 gene in 45.0% of invasive samples and in 9.52% of DCIS (p=0.036); LOH in the p53 gene in 32.5% of invasive samples and in 31.82% of DCIS (p=0.97). No LOH was observed in normal tissue samples. VEGF was overexpressed in 14.3% of invasive cancers and in 12.0% of DCIS. Overexpression of Bcl-2 was observed in 11.9% of invasive cancers and in 8.0% of DCIS.
conclusionWe have confirmed that some of the molecular characteristics of DCIS are identical to those of invasive carcinoma. This approach could lead to the identification of molecular markers as indicators for the potential development of DCIS into invasive carcinoma or identification of DCIS subgroups with latent invasion.
