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

Background: Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a group of tumor cells with self-renewal property and differentiation potential. CSCs play a crucial role in malignant progression of several types of tumors. However, what is still controversial is the clinicopathological relationship between the Nanog marker and its prognostic value in the patients with breast cancer. The expression of Nanog in the patients with breast cancer and its correlation with clinicopathological prognostic factors was explored in the present study. Methods: A sample of 120 breast cancer tissues was obtained from the patients who referred to Imam Khomeini Hospital in Sari City, Iran during January 2012 and December 2016. The associations between Nanog expression and clinicopathological factors were analyzed based on immunohistochemical analysis. Results: The expression of Nanog was detected in 67 (55.8%) patients with a high expression rate in 24 (36%) cases (staining index ≥3). Moreover, there was a statistically significant relationship between Nanog expression and clinicopathological factors, including tumor grade (p = 0.001), lymph node metastasis (p = 0.01), and the stage of the disease (p = 0.003). Conclusion: Findings of the study indicate that Nanog may act as a biomarker for prognostic prediction in patients with breast cancer.
