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

objectivesOur study was aimed to make sure whether ADAM12 could serve as a prognostic biomarker of estrogen receptor (ER) -positive breast cancer.

methods127 patients with ER-positive breast cancer were included in the present study. The level of ADAM12 was assayed through real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Levels of ADAM12 in tumor tissues and adjacent normal tissues were compared with paired t-test. The association of ADAM12 expression with clinical characteristics was analyzed via χ(2) test. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to evaluate the role of ADAM12 expression in overall survival (OS) of patients. Cox-regression analysis was performed to judge if ADAM12 could serve as a prognostic marker in breast cancer.

resultsThe level of ADAM12 was upregulated in tumor tissues of breast cancer compared to that of adjacent normal tissues (P < 0.05). The expression of ADAM12 was closely related to the Ki-67 and HER2 status (P < 0.05 for both). The results of Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that patients with higher level of ADAM12 exhibited shorter survival time compared to that of low level of ADAM12 (P < 0.001). Cox regression analysis showed that ADAM12 might be a biomarker in predicting prognosis of patients with ER-positive breast cancer (HR = 7.116, 95% CI = 3.329-15.212).

conclusionADAM12 appears to be a prognostic marker in ER-positive breast cancer.
