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

Chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 5 (CHD5) has been identified as a tumor suppressor in mouse models. Downregulation of CHD5 gene expression is frequently observed in breast cancer cells and tissues. This may be explained by deletions or other mutations; however, alternative mechanisms require investigation. Therefore, the present study evaluated whether CHD5 aberrant methylation has a role in primary breast tumors. A total of 389 patients with primary breast cancer (including 252 paraffin-embedded specimens and 137 fresh-frozen samples) were enrolled in the present study. In the current study, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and nested-methylation-specific PCR were used to analyze the mRNA expression and promoter methylation of CHD5 genes in a large cohort of breast cancer patients, and to investigate their associations with the clinicopathological features of tumors. CHD5 expression was significantly suppressed in breast cancer tissues compared with normal breast tissues when analyzed by RT-PCR. Furthermore, DNA methylation of CHD5 was more prevalent in breast tumors than in normal tissues. CHD5 mRNA levels correlated with the degree of CHD5 methylation in breast cancer tissues. Clinicopathological correlation analysis revealed that CHD5 promoter methylation was associated with estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor status. Thus, downregulation of CHD5, mediated by abnormal methylation, may contribute to the development and progression of breast cancer.
