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

Epithelial cell transforming sequence 2 (ECT2) is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor encoded by the ECT2 gene, which is located on the 3q26.31 chromosomal region and is directly associated with the occurrence of cancers. The aim of the present study was to examine the expression and prognostic importance of ECT2 in various breast cancer subtypes using the online tools, Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis, Kaplan-Meier-plotter and bc-GenExMiner. ECT2 mRNA expression was significantly different in oestrogen receptor ER(+) breast cancer; overexpression of ECT2 was associated with poor prognosis in ER
