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

Endocrine therapy is a systemic therapy and has become the main treatment strategy for patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer. However, tamoxifen resistance has become an insurmountable clinical challenge, and the underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. In this study, we explored the roles of CXC chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) in tamoxifen-treated breast cancer and tamoxifen resistance. Based on the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, high expression of CXCR4 was found to be associated with worse overall survival (hazard ratio [HR] = 4.646, p < 0.001) and cancer-specific survival (HR = 4.480, p < 0.001) in tamoxifen-treated breast cancer. CXCR4 was also positively correlated with the level of AKT phosphorylation and the resistance to tamoxifen in breast cancer. AMD3100 is a CXCR4 antagonist and was found to decrease phosphorylated (p)-AKT levels of tamoxifen-resistant cells. The reversal effect of AMD3100 on tamoxifen resistance was also confirmed
