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

ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are membrane proteins that efflux various compounds from cells, including chemotherapeutic agents, and are known to affect multidrug resistance. Recent reports disagree on whether ABCC11 is a risk factor for breast tumorigenesis, but its expression in breast cancer is poorly investigated. We hypothesized that both frequency and expression levels of ABC transporters in breast tumors would vary by cancer subtype, and be associated with prognosis. Here, we constructed a tissue microarray breast tumor samples from 281 patients, and analyzed expressions of ABCB1, ABCC1, ABCC11, and ABCG2 immunohistochemically. Breast cancer subtypes were determined by immunohistochemistry of estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). Protein expression was correlated to clinicopathological characteristics, clinical follow-up, and pathological complete response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The tissue microarray comprised 191 luminal A (68.0 %), 17 luminal B (6.0 %), 27 HER2 (9.6 %), and 46 triple-negative (16.4 %) samples. ABCC1 and ABCC11 expressions were associated with significantly shorter disease-free survival (P = 0.027 and P = 0.003, respectively). ABCC1, ABCC11, and ABCG2, but not ABCB1, were expressed significantly more, and more frequently, in aggressive subtypes. Patients with HER2+ and triple-negative tumor subtypes that expressed high levels of ABCC11 had significantly worse disease-free survival (P = 0.017 and P < 0.001, respectively). We have shown, for the first time, that ABCC1, ABCC11, and ABCG2 are highly expressed in aggressive breast cancer subtypes, and that tumor ABCC11 expression is associated with poor prognosis.
