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

backgroundIsocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) is an important enzyme that oxidatively decarboxylates isocitrate to α-ketoglutarate, and three isoforms (IDH1-3) have been identified. Overexpression and/or downregulation of IDH isoforms was reported in several human malignancies, suggesting importance of IDH in oncogenesis. However, significance of IDH isoforms remains largely unclear in the breast carcinoma.

methodsWe immunolocalized IDH1, IDH2 and IDH3α in 226 breast carcinomas and evaluated their clinical significance. Subsequently, we examined effects of IDH2 on proliferation in breast carcinoma cells.

resultsImmunoreactivity of IDH1-3α was detected in 53%, 38% and 41% of breast carcinomas, and the non-neoplastic epithelium was IDH1-positive, IDH2-negative and IDH3α-positive. IDH1 immunoreactivity was inversely associated with pathological T factor (pT) and Ki-67 in the breast carcinoma, while IDH3α immunoreactivity was not significantly associated with clinicopathological factors. IDH2 status was positively correlated with stage, pT, histological grade, HER2, Ki-67 and microvessel density. Moreover, IDH2 status was significantly associated with worse prognosis of the patients, and it turned out an independent prognostic factor for estrogen-receptor (ER) positive patients. These findings were more evident in the IDH1-negative / IDH2-positive/IDH3α-negative subgroup which is the opposite immunohistochemical IDH phenotype of normal mammary epithelium. In vitro studies demonstrated that RNA interference of IDH2 significantly decreased proliferation activity of T47D and SKBR-3 cells.

conclusionThese results suggest that IDH2 is associated with an aggressive phenotype of breast carcinoma through increasing cell proliferation, different from IDH1 and IDH3α, and immunohistochemical IDH2 status is a potent prognostic factor especially in ER-positive breast cancer patients.
