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

B7 homolog 6 (B7-H6), a member of the B7 family, is as a cell-surface ligand for natural cytotoxicity triggering receptor 3, which is expressed on natural killer cells. It has previously been reported that B7-H6 is undetectable in normal human tissues but is expressed on tumor cells. However, there are few studies focusing on the clinical significance of B7-H6 expression in human carcinoma, with the exception of three studies on ovarian, lung and gastric cancer. The present study investigated the expression of B7-H6 protein in pathologic tissue samples from 305 patients with breast cancer using immunohistochemistry. A high B7-H6 expression level was identified in tissues from 32.13% of patients with breast cancer. These patients were revealed to also exhibit a high expression level of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, a shorter survival time and a higher rate of lymph node metastasis. Furthermore, the expression level of B7-H6 was not associated with patient age, breast cancer subtype, tumor size, tumor location or estrogen receptor expression. The results of the present study revealed that higher B7-H6 expression level in breast cancer tissues was positively associated with tumor progression. This indicates that B7-H6 is associated with the progression and immunoevasion of human breast cancer; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying this potential effect require further investigation.
