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

purposeAmplified in breast cancer 1 (AIB1) expression is known to be involved in the initiation and progression of malignant breast cancer (BC), but its prognostic role remains uncertain. This meta-analysis assessed reported studies to evaluate this relationship.

methodsElectronic databases were systematically reviewed to collect eligible studies using pre-established criteria. Hazard ratios (HRs) or odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled to estimate the impact of AIB1 protein expression on overall survival (OS) and clinicopathologic properties of BC cases.

resultsNine eligible studies, including 6774 patients, were finally assessed by the current clinical meta-analysis. AIB1 positivity correlated with reduced OS (pooled HR = 1.409, 95% CI 1.159-1.714, P = .001). AIB1 overexpression also impacted prognosis as shown by univariate (pooled HR = 1.420, 95% CI 1.154-1.747, P = .001) and multivariate (pooled HR = 1.446, 95% CI 1.099-1.956; P = .009) analyses. Notably, subgroup analyses also revealed that AIB1 overexpression was associated with poor OS in some subgroups, such as ER-positive group (pooled HR = 1.511, 95% CI 1.138-2.006, P = .004), ER-positive without tamoxifen administration group (pooled HR = 2.338, 95% CI 1.489-3.627, P < .001), and premenopausal women group (pooled HR = 1.715, 95% CI 1.231-2.390, P = .001). Additionally, high AIB1 protein levels were associated with HER2 positivity (pooled OR = 0.331, 95% CI 0.245-0.448; P < .001), poorly differentiated histological grade (pooled OR = 0.377, 95% CI 0.317-0.448; P < .001), high Ki67 (pooled OR = 0.501, 95% CI 0.410-0.612; P < .001), presence of lymph node metastases (pooled OR = 0.866, 95% CI 0.752-0.997; P = .045), and absence of progesterone receptor (pooled OR = 1.447, 95% CI 1.190-1.759; P < .001).

conclusionsThis analysis demonstrated that AIB1 overexpression is related to aggressive phenotypes and unfavorable clinical outcomes in BC, and might involve in tamoxifen resistance. AIB1 may be a new prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target in BC.
