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

The FGD3 gene works as a cell migration inhibitor and seems to be a promising indicator of outcome in some human cancers including breast. In this study, we analysed for the first time the prognostic role of FGD3 in young breast cancer patients. We studied the relationship between traditional prognostic factors, FGD3 expression and outcome in ≤40 years breast cancer patients. We found that lower FGD3 expression decreased the probability of disease-free survival (p = 0.042) and overall survival (p = 0.007). In a multivariate analysis for overall survival AJCC stage (p = 0.005) and FGD3 expression (p = 0.03) resulted independent prognostic factors. Low FGD3 expression increased the risk of death from disease (HR 5.73, p = 0.03). Moreover, low FGD3 expression was associated with more widespread lymph node involvement (p = 0.04) and a lower FGD3 staining intensity was found in positive-lymph-node patients vs negative (p = 0.003) and in patients with ≥10 involved lymph nodes vs <10 (p = 0.05). Our results suggest FGD3 to be a significant independent prognostic factor in young breast cancer patients in terms of disease-free survival and overall survival. A lower expression increased the risk of recurrence and death from disease and was associated with widespread lymph node metastases.
