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

In order to explore the new mechanism that obesity worsens the prognosis of breast cancer, we reanalyzed the data about gene expression of normal, overweight, and obese breast cancer patients to explore potential genes and validate its function by clinical and experimental data. The fold change of 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenate (HPGD) gene which displayed declining trend with BMI increase was 0.46 in obese versus normal weight patients. HPGD protein was highest expressed in normal weight group and lowest expressed in obese group. The rate of positive lymph nodes was 67% in low expression of HPGD group and 35% in high expression of HPGD group. The recurrence-free survival (RFS) rate and overall survival (OS) rate of 5 years had significant difference between low expression of HPGD group and high expression of HPGD group. Obesity dramatically decreased the RFS rate and OS rate of 5 years. Down regulation of HPGD expression could increase the migration and proliferation ability of breast cancer cell line MCF-7. Taken together, our results indicate that low expression of HPGD may be a reason for poor prognosis of obese breast cancer patients.
