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

Methylation alterations of Jagged1 and Notch1 genes have been reported in non-tumor lesions and a few cancers. However, methylation profiles of Jagged1 promoter and Notch1 exon25 in breast cancer and matched normal tissue and the association of methylation with clinicopathological characteristics still remain unclear. To explore the potential effects of aberrant DNA methylation of Jagged1 and Notch1 on occurrence and progression of breast cancer, we detected the quantitative DNA methylation of Jagged1 and Notch1 in 73 breast cancer (BC) and 20 adjacent normal breast tissues (ANBT) by using MassARRAY spectrometry. The methylation level of overall and majority individual CpG sites of the two genes were synergistically significantly lower in BC than in ANBT. The overall hypomethylation of the two genes, particularly of Jagged1 CpG_8.9.10 and Notch1 CpG_14.15.16 in primary tumors, were markedly associated with lymph node metastasis, advanced stage and high grade. The protein expressions of the both genes were examined by immunohistochemical staining in same cohorts. The expression was significantly inverse correlation with methylation. The two proteins in primary tumor were synergistically up-regulated and dramatically related to lymph node metastasis, advanced stage and high grade. Our findings suggest that the synergetic hypomethylation of Jagged1 and Notch1 genes, especially of Jagged1 CpG_8.9.10 and Notch1 CpG_14.15.16, may involve tumorigenesis and development of breast cancer. The negative relationship between methylation and expression indicates methylation role for expression regulation. The synergetic overexpression of the two proteins further indicates the effects on occurrence and progression of breast cancer.
