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 leptin is discharged from breast adipose tissue and is overexpressed in breast cancer (BC). Conflicting relation of leptin with BC was reported. We investigated this association and its impact on leptin level and disease characteristics. The study included 70 females (40 women with pathological proof of invasive BC patients and 30 controls). LEP and LEPR polymorphisms were evaluated by real-time PCR. Serum leptin was estimated by ELISA. Both LEPR and LEP disturbances increase the danger of BC where GG genotype and G allele frequencies of LEPR were higher in patients vs. control. GG genotype increases BC risk with OR (9.1) while G allele predisposes to disease with OR (3.8). Furthermore, LEP A allele was uniquely elevated in patients than healthy ones with OR (2.06). Precise relation of circulating leptin and its polymorphisms with predicting BC may authorize its utilization in early screening.
