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

Escaping antitumor immunity is a hallmark in cancer progression. Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) is an immune checkpoint receptor responsible for the maintenance of immune tolerance; PD-1 ligand (PD-L1) is overexpressed in tumor cells, simplifying their escape from the immune system through T-cell function suppression. Notwithstanding that cancer antigen (CA)125, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), CA15-3, and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) are among conventional breast cancer diagnostic biomarkers, their lack of sensitivity and specificity resides among their major limitations. Furthermore, human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)2 and interleukin (IL)-6-demonstrated as breast cancer immune biomarkers-still possess limitations, for instance, technical detection problems and stability problems, which necessitate the discovery of novel, stable non-invasive cancer immune biomarkers. XIST and TSIX are two long non-coding (lnc)RNAs possessing a role in X chromosome inactivation (XCI) as well as in breast cancer (BC). In the present study, they were investigated as stable non-invasive breast cancer immune biomarkers. The study demonstrated that PD-L1 was overexpressed in the different molecular subtypes of breast cancer patients as well as in MDA-MB-231 cells. Furthermore, lncRNAs XIST and TSIX were markedly increased in the tissues, lymph nodes, and different body fluids of breast cancer patients compared to controls. In addition, XIST and TSIX were differentially expressed in subtypes of BC patients, and their levels were correlated to PD-L1 expression level. In conclusion, this correlative study has shed light on the role of both lncRNAs XIST and TSIX as potential non-invasive BC immune biomarkers reflecting the evaded immune system of the patient and overcoming the instability problem of common BC biomarkers.
