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

Docking protein 2 (Dok2) and Ras p21 protein activator 1 (RASA1) are tumor suppressors which have been identified in numerous solid tumors; however, the association between their expression in breast cancer and patient prognosis remains unclear. A total of 285 consecutive patients diagnosed histopathologically with breast cancer who underwent surgery at Jingzhou Central Hospital were selected for the present study. Dok2 and RASA1 protein were explored using histopathology and western blotting techniques, and the association of patient prognosis with clinicopathological parameters was investigated using univariate and multivariate analyses. Weak expression of Dok2/RASA1 was associated with poorly differentiated breast adenocarcinomas; negatively expressed Dok2 and RASA1 were associated with increased tumor size, a higher proportion of axillary lymph node metastasis and later clinical staging. Additionally, Dok2 and RASA1 expression were associated with disease-free survival of patients with breast cancer. As indicated by Cox's regression analysis, Dok2 and RASA1 expression and the high proportion of axillary lymph node metastasis served as significant independent predictors for the recurrence of breast cancer. The results of the present study suggested that combined Dok2 and RASA1 negative expression may serve as an independent prognostic factor for patients following breast cancer surgery.
