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

It has been identified that bisphenol A (BPA) exposure causes developmental toxicity in breast cells. However, the exact molecular mechanisms underlying the association between exposure to BPA and breast cancer remain unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the BPA-regulated signaling pathways associated with the aggressiveness and the development of breast cancer. Microarray technology and functional gene set analyses were used to evaluate BPA and breast cancer-associated biomarkers and pathways in a discovery-driven manner. Using individual dataset analyses, it was indicated that two BPA-associated gene sets, the visceral obesity pathway, involved in visceral fat deposits and the metabolic syndrome, and the cell cycle pathway, involved in cyclins and cell cycle regulation, were significantly associated with a high grade of aggressiveness and the development of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer (between P<0.05 and 0.0001). The pooled analysis indicated that the most significant pathway was G
