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

backgroundMKP-1 dephosphorylates and inactivates MAPKs, whose constitutive activations have been associated with human cancers.

resultsWe found that total MKP-1 protein levels were decreased in 63.7 % of breast cancer tissues compared with the paired noncancerous breast tissues. Decreased MKP-1 protein levels were correlated with increased tumor stage and positive recurrence and were associated with poor survival, even when using a multivariate Cox regression model. Intriguingly, nuclear MKP-1 staining was positively correlated with ER status. In vitro, tamoxifen increased MKP-1 expression in ER-positive but not ER-negative breast cancer cells. ER-specific siRNA was able to attenuate tamoxifen-induced MKP-1 expression. Furthermore, tamoxifen prolonged the duration of MKP-1 elevation and the binding time of ER to the promoter of the MKP-1/DUSP-1 gene compared with estrogen.

conclusionsOur results suggest that alterations of MKP-1 may serve as a prognostic factor in breast cancer. In addition, the regulation of MKP-1 may be related to the ER.
