Prognostic significance of HOXD13 expression in human breast cancer.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental pathology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Homeobox protein Hox-D13 has been recognized as a tumor suppressor in pancreatic cancer. To evaluate the function of HOXD13 in invasive breast cancer pathogenesis, we examined HOXD13 expression in 434 breast cancer tissues and 230 their counterpart normal breast tissues by immunohistochemistry using a tissue microarray (TMA). The association between HOXD13 expression and clinicopathological factors was analyzed by use of Chi-square test. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and log-rank tests were applied to analyze the survival status. Cox regression was applied for multivariate analysis of prognosis. We found that low HOXD13 expression accounts for 84.3% in breast cancer tissues. Low HOXD13 expression was significantly associated with large tumor size (P=0.038) and positive lymph node metastasis (LNM) (P=0.026). In Kaplan-Meier survival curves and log-rank tests, the patients with HOXD13-negative breast cancer showed significantly poorer outcomes (69.867 ± 1.058 months) in terms of overall survival (OS) than positive-HOXD13-expression patients (76.248 ± 1.069 months) (P=0.003). And in multivariate analysis, low level of HOXD13 expression was a significant unfavorable prognostic factor. So we conclude that down-regulation of HOXD13 might be a potentially useful prognostic marker for patients with breast cancer.
