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

objectiveTo investigate the expression of nuclear factor-κB-inducing kinase (NIK) in breast carcinoma tissue and tumor-adjacent normal breast tissue and evaluate its clinical significance.

methodsSurgically resected tissue specimens were collected from 82 patients with breast carcinoma who underwent surgical treatment at our hospital from March 2001 to December 2009. The diagnoses of all patients were confirmed by postoperative pathological examinations. NIK protein expression in breast carcinoma tissue and adjacent normal breast tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry; the association between NIK expression and the clinicopathological features and prognosis of patients with breast carcinoma was examined.

resultsThe positive expression rate of NIK in breast carcinoma tissue was significantly higher than that in normal tissue (63.4% vs. 25.6%, P < 0.05). Additionally, NIK expression showed no relationship to the tumor size, age, degree of differentiation, or pathological type; however, it showed a significant correlation with lymph node metastasis and the clinical stage of patients (P < 0.05). The five-year survival rate was significantly lower in breast carcinoma patients who were positive for NIK expression than in those who were negative for NIK expression (P = 0.006).

conclusionNIK expression was significantly increased in the tumor tissue of patients with breast carcinoma, which may be an important factor that affects the prognosis of these patients.
