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

Using our recently developed high-throughput automated platform, N-glycans from all serum glycoproteins from patients with breast cancer were analysed at diagnosis, after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy and up to 3 years after surgery. Surprisingly, alterations in the serum N-glycome after chemotherapy were pro-inflammatory with an increase in glycan structures associated with cancer. Surgery, on the other hand, induced anti-inflammatory changes in the serum N-glycome, towards a noncancerous phenotype. At the time of first follow-up, glycosylation in patients with affected lymph nodes changed towards a malignant phenotype. C-reactive protein showed a different pattern, increasing after first line of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, then decreasing throughout treatment until 1 year after surgery. This may reflect a switch from acute to chronic inflammation, where chronic inflammation is reflected in the serum after the acute phase response subsides. In conclusion, we here present the first time-course serum N-glycome profiling of patients with breast cancer during and after treatment. We identify significant glycosylation changes with chemotherapy, surgery and follow-up, reflecting the host response to therapy and tumour removal.
