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

Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) plays a fundamental role in immune responses. Recent findings suggest the TLR5 expression level affects cancer progression and development. In the present study, our examination of 256 breast carcinomas specimens revealed that TLR5 is overexpressed in breast carcinomas, and that TLR5 overexpression correlated with lymph node metastasis and cancer grade (p<0.01). In a case-control study, we also analyzed associations between TLR5 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and breast cancer risk. Compared were 516 Chinese Han women diagnosed mainly with infiltrative ductal carcinoma and 520 age-matched healthy controls. The nonsense SNP rs5744168 causes truncation of the TLR5 transmembrane signaling domain and was associated with breast cancer risk (p<0.05). However, no statistical association was detected between SNP rs5744168 and any of the clinical parameters tested. Our findings thus indicate that TLR5 SNP rs5744168 is associated with sporadic breast cancer occurrence.
