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

Downregulation of p57(Kip2) is involved in tumor progression, and S-phase kinase-associated protein 2 (Skp2) is an E3 ligase that regulates a variety of cell cycle proteins. However, the prognostic value of p57(Kip2) and its correlation with Skp2 in breast cancer have not been fully elucidated. Here we report our study on the expression of p57(Kip2) and Skp2 in 102 breast cancer patients by immunohistochemistry, and analysis of clinicopathologic parameters in relation to patient prognosis. The expression of p57(Kip2) was negatively associated with Skp2 expression in breast cancer (r = -0.26, P = 0.009). Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that both high Skp2 and low p57(Kip2) correlated with poor disease-free survival (DFS) (P = 0.05), and a group with the combination of high Skp2/low p57(Kip2) demonstrated even worse DFS (log-rank = 21.118, P < 0.001). In addition, univariate analysis showed that Skp2, p57(Kip2), histological grade, lymph node metastasis, and estrogen and progesterone receptors (ER and PR) were all associated with DFS, and multivariate analysis revealed that lymph node metastasis and Skp2 were independent prognostic biomarkers. The correlation between p57 and Skp2 was further demonstrated in multiple breast cancer cell lines and cell cycle phases. Half-life and immunoprecipitation (IP) experiments indicated that Skp2 directly interacts with p57(Kip2) and promotes its degradation, rather than its mutant p57(Kip2) (T310A). Overall, our findings demonstrate that Skp2 directly degrades p57(Kip2), and an inverse correlation between these proteins (high skp2/low p57(Kip2)) is associated with poor prognosis in breast cancer. Thus, our results indicate a combined prognostic value of these markers in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.
