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

introductionGlucose-regulated protein78(GRP78) is a stress - induced endoplasmic reticulum chaperone protein. it is closely related to the occurrence, development, proliferation, differentiation and drug resistance of breast cancer. However, the association and clinicopathological features between GRP78 and triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) remain to be studied. MATERIAL AND

methodsClinical and pathological characteristics and overall survival were analysed retrospectively in 179 surgically resected TNBC patients. GRP78 was detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC) using breast cancer tissue microarrays (TMAs), and the association between GRP78 levels and clinicopathological factors and prognosis was analyzed. Furthermore, GRP78 expression in human TNBC and NTNBC cell lines was detected by Western blot and qRT-PCR. After Si-GRP78 knocked-down GRP78 in MDA-MB-231 and BT549 cell lines, cell proliferation was detected using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and cell colony formation was detected by crystal violet staining, respectively.

resultsGRP78 was expressed in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). GRP78 expression was significantly associated with invasive, distant metastasis and proliferation of TNBC (P<0.05). In addition, patients with positive GRP78 expression had shorter overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). And the high expression of GRP78 was significantly associated with disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with TNBC (P<0.001).

conclusionsThese findings improve our understanding of the expression pattern of GRP78 in TNBC and clarify the role of GRP78 as promising prognostic biomarkers for triple-negative breast cancer.
