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 N-myc downstream regulated gene (NDRG) protein family consists of 4 members (NDRG1, NDRG2, NDRG3, and NDRG4), that have been reported to be aberrantly expressed in human cancers. Furthermore, NDRG3 protein expression is known to promote tumor angiogenesis and cell growth. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical significance of NDRG3 expression in invasive breast cancer (IBC). NDRG3 expression was evaluated immunohistochemically in tissue microarrays of 1339 IBC samples, and associations between NDRG3 expression and clinicopathologic parameters, including prognosis, were examined. NDRG3 protein expression was observed in 194 (14.5%) cases, and found to be associated with an age of ≥ 50 yrs (
