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

Cofilin, a key regulator of actin cytoskeleton dynamics, is considered to be involved in cellular migration, tumor invasion and mitosis, and its activity is increased in cancer cells. To address the association between cofilin and breast cancer prognosis, which is unclear at present, cofilin expression was analyzed in tissue microarrays of tumors from 310 patients with breast cancer via immunohistochemistry. In a multivariate Cox regression analysis, a high expression of cofilin in tumor cells correlated significantly with shorter overall survival (hazard ratio, 2.22; 95% confidence interval, 1.35-3.66, P=0.002, and with the Nottingham histologic grade, Ki-67 status and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 status (P=0.031, 0.001, and 0.001, respectively). Cofilin expression was not observed as correlated with estrogen or progesterone receptor expression, tumor size or lymph node status. These data demonstrate that cofilin is associated with poor outcome, thereby suggesting that it is a potential prognostic factor in breast cancer.
