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

Chromosomal instability, which is a characteristic of many human cancers, contributes to intratumour heterogeneity and has been functionally implicated in resistance to taxane therapy in tumour models. However, defining the status of tumour chromosomal instability in a given tumour to test this hypothesis remains challenging. Measurements of numerical and structural chromosomal heterogeneity demonstrate that histological grade correlates with chromosomal instability in oestrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer. Using data on adjuvant taxane therapy in women with breast cancer, we propose that patients with low-grade ER-positive tumours, which are thought to be chromosomally stable, might derive unexpected benefit from taxane therapy. We discuss the implications of the relationships between tumour grade, chromosomal instability and intratumour heterogeneity, the development of high-throughput methods to define tumour chromosomal instability and the potential use of chromosomal instability to tailor therapy.
