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

backgroundThe leukocyte-associated immunoglobulin-like receptor-1 (LAIR-1) plays a role in immune response homeostasis, extracellular matrix remodelling and it is overexpressed in many high-grade cancers. This study aimed to elucidate the biological and prognostic role of LAIR-1 in invasive breast cancer (BC).

methodsThe biological and prognostic effect of LAIR-1 was evaluated at the mRNA and protein levels using well-characterised multiple BC cohorts. Related signalling pathways were evaluated using in silico differential gene expression and siRNA knockdown were used for functional analyses.

resultsHigh LAIR-1 expression either in mRNA or protein levels were associated with high tumour grade, poor Nottingham Prognostic Index, hormone receptor negativity, immune cell infiltrates and extracellular matrix remodelling elements. High LAIR-1 protein expression was an independent predictor of shorter BC-specific survival and distant metastasis-free survival in the entire BC cohort and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)+ subtype. Pathway analysis highlights LAIR-1 association with extracellular matrix remodelling-receptor interaction, and cellular proliferation. Depletion of LAIR-1 using siRNA significantly reduced cell proliferation and invasion capability in HER2+ BC cell lines.

conclusionHigh expression of LAIR-1 is associated with poor clinical outcome in BC. Association with immune cells and immune checkpoint markers warrant further studies to assess the underlying mechanistic roles.
