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

Hypermethylation of promoter CpG islands represents an alternative mechanism to inactivate tumor suppressor genes. This study was to detect promoter methylation status and mRNA expression levels of ARRDC3, ELP3, GATA5, and PAX6, and to explore the association between methylation and expression in invasive ductal carcinomas (IDCs) and matched normal tissues (MNTs) from breast cancer patients. Aberrant gene methylation was observed as follows: ARRDC3 in 38.5 %, ELP3 in 73.1 %, GATA5 in 48.1 %, and PAX6 in 50.0 % of IDCs. mRNA expression of ARRDC3, ELP3, and GATA5 in IDCs showed a lower level than that in MNTs (P < 0.001, P = 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively). For ARRDC3, both methylated and unmethylated IDCs showed significantly lower expression values compared to MNTs (P = 0.001 and P = 0.007, respectively). For ELP3 and GATA5, methylated tumors only showed significantly lower expression values compared to MNTs (P = 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively). For ARRDC3 and GATA5, methylation was associated with their less fold change in IDCs (P = 0.049 and P = 0.020, respectively). Methylation of ARRDC3 was significantly associated with grades and lymph node status of IDCs (P = 0.036 and P = 0.002, respectively). Methylation frequency of ELP3 was higher in lymph node positive versus lymph node negative tumors (P = 0.020); whereas methylation frequency of PAX6 was lower in tumors with the ER negative samples (P = 0.025). Our data suggested that promoter hypermethylation may be an important mechanism of the transcriptional inactivation of ARRDC3, GATA5, and ELP3 in IDCs.
