Joint detection of multiple immunohistochemical indices and clinical significance in breast cancer.

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.
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
Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies in women. This study was conducted to analyze the association between the expressions of eight immunohistochemical (IHC) indices and clinicopathological characteristics in breast cancers (BCs) and investigate the clinical significance. IHC Envision ldpe-g-nvp was used to detect the expression of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), p53, type II topoisomerase (TOPO II) and Ki-67 in postoperative paraffin blocks of 286 cases of invasive BC and statistically analyzed their correlations with clinicopathological characteristics. The positive rates of ER, PR, HER2, VEGF, p53, EGFR, TOPO II and Ki-67 expression were 62.24, 41.96, 57.34, 53.85, 81.82, 46.85, 54.55 and 69.93%, respectively. ER expression was negatively correlated with age, tumor size and histological grade (P<0.05) and PR expression was negatively correlated with age and histological grade (P<0.05). Among the ER, PR and c-erbB-2 statuses, a significant correlation was observed between ER expression and PR status (P=0.0000), whereas the expression of ER and PR exhibited a negative correlation with HER2 status (P<0.05). We also demonstrated a significant correlation between EGFR expression and lymph node metastasis (P=0.0240), p53 expression and tumor size (P=0.0300), p53 and Ki-67 expression and histological grade (P<0.05) and the expressions of VEGF, EGFR, p53, TOPO II, Ki-67 and HER2 status (P<0.05). In addition, the Luminal B and HER2/neu subtypes exhibited a close correlation with age (P<0.01), while the HER2/neu and triple-negative subtypes were positively correlated with poor histological grade (P<0.05). In conclusion, there is a definite correlation between IHC indices and clinicopathological characteristics in BCs. Combined detection of these indices may be significant in the evaluation of biological behavior and prognosis of BC and thus in the diagnosis and comprehensive treatment of this disease.
