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

purposeIndoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) and Interleukin-6 (IL-6) contribute to poor therapeutic effects, tumor relapse and aggressive tumor growth. IDO and IL-6 incorporate a positive feedback signal loop to maintain IDO and IL-6 constitutive expression and facilitate tumor progression.

resultsIDO expression was associated with IL-6 expression and plasma IL-6 level ( MATERIALS AND

methods46 breast cancer patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy enrolled in this study. Immunohistochemistry was applied for evaluating IDO and IL-6 expression in biopsy tissues prior neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Immunofluorescence was applied to observe the co-localization of IDO and IL-6. Serum IL-6 level was examined via ELISA. The associations between IDO, IL-6, Serum IL-6 level and clinicopathological features, response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy were analyzed.

conclusionIDO and IL-6 expression associated with advanced breast cancer and poor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
