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

objectiveSerine protease 3 (PRSS3) is an isoform of trypsinogen, and plays an important role in the development of many malignancies. The objective of this study was to determine PRSS3 mRNA and protein expression levels in invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast and normal surrounding tissue samples.

resultsBoth PRSS3 mRNA and protein levels were significantly higher in invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast tissues than in normal or benign tissues (all P < 0.05). High PRSS3 protein levels were associated with patients' age, histological grade, Her-2 expression level, ki-67 expression, and the 5.0-year survival rate. These high protein levels are independent prognostic markers in invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe used real-time quantitative polymerase chain reactions (N = 40) and tissue microarray immunohistochemistry analysis (N = 286) to determine PRSS3 mRNA and protein expression, respectively. PRSS3 protein levels in invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast tissues were correlated with the clinical characteristics of patients with invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast and their 5.0-year survival rate.

conclusionsPRSS3 acts as an oncogene in invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast development and progression. This finding implies that detection of PRSS3 expression can be a useful prognosis marker and the targeting of PRSS3 can potentially represent a new strategy for invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast treatment.
