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

backgroundThe upregulation of long non-coding RNA SPRY4 intronic transcript 1 (lncRNA SPRY4-IT1) has been observed in breast cancer (BC). However, there is no previous study of the relationship between SPRY4-IT1 and patient prognosis in BC. This study investigated the prognostic value of SPRY4-IT1 in BC patients.

methodsThe relative expression levels of SPRY4-IT1 were detected by RT-qPCR in 102 paired BC tissues and adjacent noncancerous tissues. The association of SPRY4-IT1 expression with clinicopathological features and prognosis was statistically analyzed.

resultsThe findings revealed that the SPRY4-IT1 expression was significantly upregulated in clinical BC tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues (P < 0.001). Furthermore, the SPRY4-IT1 level was significantly associated with tumor size (P = 0.009), TNM stage (P = 0.0008) and lymph node metastasis (P = 0.01). Using a Kaplan-Meier analysis, it was shown that patients with high SPRY4-IT1 expression had a significantly poor overall survival (OS) rate (P = 0.0056) and a disease-free survival (DFS) rate (P = 0.0001). Moreover, multivariate Cox analysis revealed that SPRY4-IT1 expression was an independent poor prognostic factor for both OS (P = 0.024) and DFS (P = 0.025) in BC patients.

conclusionsSPRY4-IT1 expression is an independent prognostic factor for patients with BC and may serve as a potential biomarker to predict prognosis in BC patients.
