1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The aim is to investigate the clinical implications of the Oct-4 and Nestin protein in human breast cancers. A total of 346 cases including 26 fresh and 320 paraffin-embedded tumor tissues were selected for characterizing the frequency of CD44(+)CD24(-) tumor cells by flow cytometry and the differential expression of the stem cell-related genes between CD44(+)CD24(-) and non-CD44(+)CD24(-) tumor cells was analyzed by PCR Array and immunofluorescence. In comparison with the non-CD44(+)CD24(-) tumor cells, the CD44(+)CD24(-), particularly for those with high percentage of Oct-4(+) and Nestin(+), tumor cells had higher tumorigenicity by forming mammospheres in vitro. More importantly, 42 (13.125%) out of 320 tumor tissues were positive for Oct-4 and Nestin staining. Universal analysis and multivariate analysis revealed that the expression of Oct-4 and Nestin was associated significantly with younger age, pathogenic degrees, lymph node metastasis and triple-negative breast cancer independently (P < 0.05) as well as shorter survival (P = 0.001). Oct-4 and Nestin were important regulators of the development of breast cancer, and Oct-4 and Nestin may be used as predictors for the prognosis of breast cancers.
