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

Survivin is a cancer gene that is silenced in differentiated tissues, while overexpressed at high levels in vast majority of tumors. It has garnered great interests in recent years. Some essential properties characterizing it as an ideal target involve inhibiting apoptosis, promoting mitosis, stimulating vessel growth thus inducing chemo-resistance. These functions touch the full gamut of tumorigenesis, including proliferation, migration, and invasion, and collectively facilitate malignant behavior. In the case of breast cancer, survivin detection independent or combined in serum and/or urine has emerged as a measure for diagnosis. Moreover, many studies indicated aberrant expression of survivin is associated with poor prognosis and drug/radiation resistance. Strategies targeting survivin to treat breast cancer have got promising initial results. In this review, we summarize its role in breast cancer's diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment, with the intention to explain why this interesting molecule plays a conflicting role.
