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 second leading cause of cancer-related death among women worldwide. Emerging evidence suggests that chromobox homolog 2 (CBX2) is overexpressed in breast cancer and plays an essential role in tumor progression. However, its expression and functional roles in breast cancer development and progression require further exploration. Here, we evaluated CBX2 expression in breast cancer using mRNA expression data from the TCGA database; CBX2 expression was upregulated in breast cancer. Furthermore, upregulated CBX2 expression was significantly associated with poorer overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of breast cancer patients. Immunohistochemical analysis of CBX2 expression in a tissue microarray (TMA) cohort yielded concordant results. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that elevated CBX2 expression was significantly and independently associated with poorer OS of patients in this TMA cohort. Additionally, we performed
