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

Complex diseases such as cancer are usually governed by dynamic and simultaneous modifications of multiple genes. Since sphingolipids are potent bioactive molecules and regulate many important pathophysiological processes such as carcinogenesis, we studied the gene pair correlations of 36 genes (31 genes in the sphingolipid metabolic pathway and 5 genes encoding the sphingosine-1-phosphate receptors) between breast cancer patients and healthy controls. It is remarkable to observe that the gene expressions were widely and strongly correlated in healthy controls but in general lost in breast cancer patients. This study suggests that gene pair correlation coefficients could be applied as a systematic and novel method for the diagnosis and prognosis of breast cancer.
