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

In this study, immunohistochemical expression of five proliferation markers: Ki-67, aurora-A kinase, survivin, B-Myb and cyclin B1, was analyzed. Consecutive 215 tumor samples from breast cancer patients operated from 2002 to 2003 were analyzed using the TMA ("tissue microarray") method. The median follow-up was 95 months (from 7.8 to 107 months). Statistically significant correlations between expression levels in five proliferation markers, and correlations between some of the proliferation markers and traditional prognostic factors were found. Statistically significant prognostic influence of aurora-A kinase, survivin and B-Myb expression levels on overall and disease-free survival was found, and cyclin B1 expression level on disease-free survival. A multivariate analysis confirmed survivin and B-Myb expression as independent prognostic factors of overall (p = 0.0195; p = 0.0004) and disease-free survival (p = 0.0107 and p = 0.0205) in breast cancer patients.
