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

purposeHuman hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-like 2 (HSDL2) is a characterized SDR gene that not only catalyses the oxidation and reduction of multiple substrates but also regulates different metabolic and signalling pathways. Accumulating evidences suggest that HSDL2 play an important role in cancer progression. However, the role of HSDL2 in breast cancer has not yet been determined. Thus, this study aims to explore the relevance of HSDL2 in breast cancer progression. PATIENTS AND

methodsThe location of HSDL2 protein was detected in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells by using immunofluorescence (IF) staining. The expression level of HSDL2 was evaluated by immunohistochemical (IHC) staining in 119 breast cancer tissues and 40 normal breast tissues. Then, the correlations between the overexpression of HSDL2 and clinicopathological features of breast cancer patients were evaluated by using the chi-square test, and the survival rates were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method. In addition, the role of HSDL2 in breast cancer proliferation was assessed by MTT and colony formation assays, and cell cycle distribution was detected by flow cytometry analysis and Western blot.

resultsIF staining and IHC analysis consistently showed that HSDL2 was predominantly expressed in the cytoplasm of breast cancer cells. The positive rate of HSDL2 protein was significantly higher in breast cancer tissues (87.4%, 104/119) than in adjacent normal breast tissues (25%, 10/40) (

conclusionIn conclusion, this study indicated that HSDL2 plays a role in promoting the development of breast cancer. HSDL2 could be a valuable prognostic biomarker and a potential therapeutic target for patients with breast cancer.
