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

purposeClaudin-8 (CLDN8) has been identified as an androgen-regulated gene in prostate cancer. However, the role of CLDN8 has not been fully explored in breast cancer. We aimed to explore the expression of CLDN8 and androgen receptor (AR), determine the correlation between CLDN8 and AR, assess the prognostic value of CLDN8 and AR co-expression, and investigate the possible CLDN8 expression molecular mechanism in breast cancer. MATERIALS AND

methodsTwenty-eight pairs of fresh tumor tissues and adjacent noncancerous tissues were evaluated by Western blot for CLDN8. Then, 142 breast cancer samples were determined by immunohistochemistry for CLDN8 and AR. The association of clinicopathological features with CLDN8, AR and CLDN8, and AR co-expression was examined. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) was used to demonstrate the expression of CLDN8 and correlation between CLDN8 and AR. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed to assess the prognostic impact of CLDN8 and AR co-expression. The mechanisms related to CLDN8 expression in breast cancer were explored by Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA).

resultsCLDN8 was downregulated in breast cancer tissues and positively correlated with none lymph node metastasis (

conclusionThe expression of CLDN8 is directly related to the expression of AR. CLDN8 and AR co-expression might be a potential prognostic evaluation factor for breast cancer patients.
