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

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a nonobligate precursor to invasive breast cancer. Only a small percentage of DCIS cases are predicted to progress; however, there is no method to determine which DCIS lesions will remain innocuous from those that will become invasive disease. Therefore, DCIS is treated aggressively creating a current state of overdiagnosis and overtreatment. There is a critical need to identify functional determinants of progression of DCIS to invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). Interrogating biopsies from five patients with contiguous DCIS and IDC lesions, we have shown that expression of the long noncoding RNA BHLHE40-AS1 increases with disease progression. BHLHE40-AS1 expression supports DCIS cell proliferation, motility, and invasive potential. Mechanistically, BHLHE40-AS1 modulates interleukin (IL)-6/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) activity and a proinflammatory cytokine signature, in part through interaction with interleukin enhancer-binding factor 3. These data suggest that BHLHE40-AS1 supports early breast cancer progression by engaging STAT3 signaling, creating an immune-permissive microenvironment.
