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

Kallikrein-related peptidases (KLKs) are a group of 15 serine proteases, hormonally regulated, and localized on chromosome 19q13.4. Alternative splicing is a process that plays significant role in the development, physiology, and different diseases, like cancer. Kallikrein family numbers more than 82 alternative transcripts. Understanding the role that those gene transcripts play in various cancer types, could lead to the discovery of diagnostic markers or drug targets. The present study was designed to analyze the expression profile of the splice variants of kallikrein-related peptidase 12 (KLK12) in breast cancer patients and to evaluate their clinical significance. KLK12 splice variants (KLK12sv3 and KLK12sv1/KLK12sv2) were examined in 69 tissue samples of breast cancer using quantitative real-time PCR as well as semi-quantitative PCR. Relative quantitative expression of KLK12 was statistically associated to clinicopathological parameters. From the splice variants examined, statistical associations with clinicopathological parameters were obtained only from KLK12sv3 variant. KLK12sv3 is more frequently expressed in tumors of lower grade (p = 0.040), early patient TNM stage (p = 0.024), and smaller tumor size (p = 0.023). Positive KLK12sv3 expression is associated with longer patient disease-free survival (DFS) (p = 0.042) and higher progesterone receptor concentration (p = 0.008). KLK12sv1/KLK12sv2 expression is statistically associated with KLK12sv3 expression (p = 0.001). KLK12sv3 can be regarded as a marker of good prognosis in breast cancer.
