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

objectiveCumulative data from clinical trials suggest that Lin28 may contribute to poor survival in breast cancer patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between Lin28 expression and breast cancer patients' clinicopathological parameters.

methodsData from a total of 291 breast cancer patients were collected in this study. The expression level of Lin28 was assessed by immunohistochemical staining. The correlation of Lin28 expression and clinicopathological parameters was statically evaluated and the prognostic significance of Lin28 expression was assessed by univariate and multivariate analyses.

resultsOne hundred and eight out of 291 (37.1%) breast cancer specimens showed Lin28 protein positive expression, while the remaining 183 specimens showed negative expression. Positive expression of Lin28 was associated with lymph node metastases (

conclusionLin28 expression was associated with advanced disease stage and subtype in breast cancer patients, and Lin28 expression may serve as an independent prognostic factor. These data indicate that Lin28 may play a major role in the therapeutic management of breast cancer.
