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

purposeUSP-11, a member of the ubiquitin-specific protease family, has emerged as an essential regulator of double-strand break repair. Few studies have shown that silencing USP-11 led to hypersensitivity to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibition, ionizing radiation, and DNA-damaging agents. We sought to examine the predictive and prognostic relevance of USP-11 in patients treated with neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST) for breast cancer.

methodsFifty-six women who were treated with NST for breast cancer between 1999 and 2004 were included in the study. The Kaplan-Meier product-limit method was used to estimate disease-free survival and overall survival rates. Logistic regression models were fit to determine the associations between USP-11 status, pathological complete response (pCR), and survival.

resultsSixteen patients (29%) had high-USP-11-expressing tumors, and 40 (71%) patients had low-USP-11-expressing tumors. No significant differences were observed in pCR rates with respect to USP-11 status. At a median follow-up of 7.4 years, 33 patients (59%) experienced a disease recurrence or death. Patients with high-USP-11-expressing tumors had a higher risk of recurrence (odds ratio [OR], 3.87; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.51-9.93; P = 0.005) and death (OR, 6.03; 95% CI, 2.00-18.17; P = 0.001) than those with low-USP-11-expressing tumors. Patients who did not achieve a pCR had an increased risk of recurrence (OR, 5.16; 95% CI, 1.16-23.07; P = 0.03).

conclusionsOur data indicate that USP-11 is not a predictor of a pCR after anthracycline-taxane-containing NST for breast cancer. Low USP-11 expression was independently correlated with better survival outcomes.
