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

backgroundObesity is associated both with a higher risk of developing breast cancer, particularly in postmenopausal women, and with worse disease outcome for women of all ages. Previous investigation suggested Aurora A kinase was able to partially restore the functionalities of obese adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells by stabilizing their primary cilia and reestablishing a balance of multiple stemness-associated genes. The association between Aurora A and obesity breast cancer is still unclear. We hypothesized that overexpression of Aurora A was associated with poor survival in obesity breast cancer and the related axis mechanism was involved.

methodsA total of 517 primary breast cancer specimens were collected from the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University between January 2011 and November 2016. Our independent variable was BMI at baseline, categorized as overweight (BMI ≥25 kg/m

resultsAmong 517 breast patients, Aurora A-positive (staining scores ≥4) was significantly higher in obesity breast carcinoma compared with non-obesity cancer carcinoma (

conclusionOur finding demonstrates here for the first time that high expression of Aurora A was notably correlated with early recurrence and poor overall survival in obesity patients with early breast cancer. The Aurora A-Cyclin B1 axis could be a potential promising therapeutic target for cancer intervention and therapy.
