Progesterone impairs Herceptin effect on breast cancer cells.
Article in Oncology letters, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Breast cancer (BCa) is the most common cancer affecting women worldwide. Overexpression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) occurs in ~20-25% of invasive ductal breast carcinomas and is associated with the more aggressive phenotype. Herceptin, a humanized antibody against HER2, is a standard therapy in HER2-overexpressing cases. Approximately one-third of patients relapse despite treatment. Therefore numerous studies have investigated the molecular mechanisms associated with Herceptin resistance. An interaction between HER2 signalling and steroid hormone receptor signalling pathways has been previously investigated, but the effect of this relationship on Herceptin resistance has never been studied. The present study analysed an impact of the steroid hormone, progesterone (PG), on Herceptin-dependent cell growth inhibition. Results indicated that Herceptin-inhibited proliferation of breast cancer cell lines overexpressing HER2 (BT474 and MCF/HER2) in 3D culture is abolished by PG. Furthermore, results demonstrated that PG led to the activation of HER2/HER3-mediated signalling. Moreover, PG treatment induced a shift of Herceptin-dependent cell cycle arrest in G
