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

Utilizing The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and KM plotter databases we identified six heat shock proteins associated with survival of breast cancer patients. The survival curves of samples with high and low expression of heat shock genes were compared by log-rank test (Mantel-Haenszel). Interestingly, patients overexpressing two identified HSPs - HSPA2 and DNAJC20 exhibited longer survival, whereas overexpression of other four HSPs - HSP90AA1, CCT1, CCT2, CCT6A resulted in unfavorable prognosis for breast cancer patients. We explored correlations between expression level of HSPs and clinicopathological features including tumor grade, tumor size, number of lymph nodes involved and hormone receptor status. Additionally, we identified a novel signature with the potential to serve as a prognostic model for breast cancer. Using univariate Cox regression analysis followed by multivariate Cox regression analysis, we built a risk score formula comprising prognostic HSPs (HSPA2, DNAJC20, HSP90AA1, CCT1, CCT2) and tumor stage to identify high-risk and low-risk cases. Finally, we analyzed the association of six prognostic HSP expression with survival of patients suffering from other types of cancer than breast cancer. We revealed that depending on cancer type, each of the six analyzed HSPs can act both as a positive, as well as a negative regulator of cancer development. Our study demonstrates a novel HSP signature for the outcome prediction of breast cancer patients and provides a new insight into ambiguous role of these proteins in cancer development.
