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

The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand activated transcription factor implicated in multiple cellular processes and its expression has been shown to play a critical role in tumorigenesis. However, the role of AhR in tumorigenesis of breast cancer remains unclear. In the current study, we investigated the expression levels of AhR in breast lesions and assessing the correlation between AhR expression and clinicopathological variables using breast cancer tissue microarray. Meanwhile, 10 paired of fresh breast cancer and corresponding non-cancer samples were detected for AhR and p53 expression by Western blot, respectively. Results showed that AhR expression levels in breast cancer tissues were significantly higher than that in the non-cancer tissues. AhR expression was associated with the pathological type and P53 status, but not patients age, tumor grade and TNM, as well as ER, PR, C-erbB2, Ki-67, AR, EGFR status. Moreover, Western blot data suggested a negative correlation between p53 protein and AhR protein expression levels. The results suggest that high levels of AhR were expressed in the majority of breast cancer tissues and closely associated with P53 status and histological types of breast cancer. AHR and its abnormal expression may play an important role in multiple stages of breast cancer progression.
