Amplification of Genomic DNA for Decoy Receptor 3 Predicts Post-Resection Disease Recurrence in Breast Cancer Patients.

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.
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
backgroundDecoy receptor 3 (DcR3), a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily, shows inhibitory effects on Fas-mediated apoptosis. Currently, data are lacking on the correlation between DcR3 and the recurrence of breast cancer. The authors examined DcR3 mRNA expression and genomic amplification in breast cancer, and investigated the effect of DcR3 gene amplification on prognosis of patients.
methodsA total of 95 patients formed the basis of the current retrospective study. DcR3 mRNA expression in breast cancer tissues was examined by RNase protection assay and
resultsThe relative copy numbers of DcR3 genomic DNA correlated significantly with the levels of DcR3 mRNA expression (ρ = 0.755, P = 0.0067). In addition, lymphatic invasion correlated significantly with DcR3 gene amplification (P = 0.012). However, there was no correlation between the remaining clinicopathological factors and DcR3 gene amplification. In the univariate analysis, the recurrence-free survival (RFS) rate of patients who were positive for DcR3 gene amplification was significantly lower than that of patients who were negative for DcR3 gene amplification (P = 0.0271). Multivariate analysis showed that DcR3 gene amplification (P = 0.028) and disease stage (P < 0.001) remained significant independent predictors of RFS.
conclusionsDcR3 gene amplification was significantly correlated with lymphatic invasion, and also DcR3 gene amplification predicts recurrence after resection, which may be an important prognostic factor in breast cancer patients.
