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

The potential prognostic value of GATA binding protein 3 (GATA3) in breast cancer has recently increased, although the evidence is inconclusive. This meta-analysis of 10 articles involving 5,080 breast cancer patients explored the prognostic and clinicopathological value of GATA3 in breast cancer. Time to tumor progression (TTP) and overall survival (OS) were primary endpoints. Pooled hazard ratio (HR), pooled risk ratio (RR), and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated to evaluate the association between GATA3, prognosis, and clinicopathological parameters. High GATA3 expression predicts breast cancer, with a HR (HR = 0.671; 95% CI = 0.475-0.947; P = 0.023) of TTP, but is not associated with OS (HR = 0.889; 95% CI = 0.789-1.001; P = 0.052). GATA3 overexpression is associated with positive ER (RR = 3.155; 95% CI = 1.680-5.923; P = 0.000), positive PR (RR = 3.949; 95% CI = 1.567-9.954, P = 0.004), lower nuclear grade (RR = 0.435; 95% CI = 0.369-0.514; P = 0.000), and smaller tumor size (RR = 0.816; 95% CI = 0.709-0.940; P = 0.005). High GATA3 expression may predict TTP in breast cancer, and such patients may show better clinicopathological features.
