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

Filamin A (FlnA) is an actin cross-linking protein. Previous studies have demonstrated its role in tumor progression in a wide range of cancer types. It has been reported that FlnA interacts with the DNA damage response protein, breast cancer gene 1 (BRCA1), which is a tumor suppressor gene. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are no studies evaluating the association of these genes in human carcinomas. In the present study, the immunohistochemistry of a tissue microarray was used to investigate the clinical significance of FlnA and BRCA1 expression in pathological specimens collected from 424 patients treated for breast cancer. In addition, FlnA and BRCA1 expression was downregulated in the breast cancer cell line, MCF-7, through FlnA RNA interference. FlnA expression was exhibited by cancer tissues collected from 137 patients with breast cancer, which also exhibited high expression of BRCA1 and were associated with a relatively long survival time. A significant association was identified between FlnA protein expression and tumor size, and between FlnA protein expression and progesterone receptor expression. These results suggest that BRCA1 expression could be regulated by FlnA in the breast cancer cell line, MCF-7. Overall, the present study demonstrates that FlnA expression was associated with BRAC1 expression and tumor size in breast cancer, which provides important implications for future study of FlnA in the progression of human breast cancer.
