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

In the last decade, many attempts have been made to use gene expression profiles to identify prognostic genes for various types of cancer. Previous studies evaluating the prognostic value of genes suffered by failing to solve the critical problem of classifying patients into different risk groups based on specific gene expression threshold levels. Here, we present a novel method, called iterative patient partitioning (IPP), which was inspired by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, is based on the log-rank test and overcomes the threshold decision problem. We applied IPP to analyze datasets pertaining to various subtypes of breast cancer. Using IPP, we discovered both novel and well-studied prognostic genes related to cell cycle/proliferation or the immune response. The novel genes were further analyzed using copy-number alteration and mutation data, and these results supported their relationship with prognosis.
