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

Breast cancer is the most frequent malignant tumor in women, and the estrogen receptor (ER) plays a vital role in the vast majority of breast cancers. The purpose of the present study was to identify the significant genes regulated by ER in ER-positive breast cancer and to explore their expression pattern changes when tamoxifen or fulvestrant resistance occurs. For this purpose, the gene expression profiles GSE11324, GSE27473, and GSE5840 from the Gene Expression Omnibus database were used, which contain gene expression data from MCF7 cells treated with estrogen, MCF7 cells with silencing of ER, and tamoxifen- and fulvestrant-resistant MCF7 cells treated with estrogen (17β-estradiol), respectively. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the treatment group and negative control were identified and subjected to pathway enrichment and protein-protein interaction (PPI) analyses. There were 230 DEGs in common among the three datasets, including 160 genes positively regulated by ER and 70 genes negatively regulated by ER. DEGs mainly showed enrichment for pathways in cancer, progesterone-mediated oocyte maturation, RNA transport, glycerophospholipid metabolism, oocyte meiosis, platelet activation, and so on. PPI network and modular analysis selected three significant clusters containing 19 genes. A total of 44 genes were involved in Kyoto Encyclopedia of Gene and Genome pathway results or PPI modular analysis, and 16 of them were found to correlate with relapse-free survival in patients with ER
