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

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in females, it accounts for one third of all malignancies affecting women. Appropriate biomarkers play significant role in predicting the prognosis and decide the specific therapy to each patient. In this study we aimed at evaluating the value of Ki-67 as a prognostic marker in breast cancer patients and to analyze the associations between Ki-67 and their clinicopathological parameters. This study included 92 patients with developed non metastatic breast cancer and 10 women had benign breast tumor served as controls. We measured the serum level by ELISA technique and tissue expression of Ki-67 by immunohistochemical technique. Our results showed that there were no statistically significant differences in serum Ki-67 levels between the two studied groups. As for Ki-67expression in breast cancer cells, the score increases with increase of tumor size, grade, premenopausal, Ki-67 expression in estrogen and progesterone receptor positive tumors showed lower values than estrogen and progesterone negative tumors, while higher Ki-67 expression was more frequently associated with HER2-positive. In conclusion; our study supports the finding that tissue Ki-67 expression may add prognostic information to that obtained from classical prognostic factors and can provide data of significant value to other important prognostic indicators such as pathological grading, and axillary lymph node involvement.
