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

The one-step nucleic acid amplification (OSNA) assay is a molecular method used for detecting breast cancer (BC) metastasis in sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs). However, this method has a major disadvantage, since it prevents tissue structure analysis, while only one molecular marker can be evaluated, namely cytokeratin 19 mRNA. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether an OSNA-discarded sample could be suitable for the gene expression analysis of the SLN microenvironment. The remaining intermediate phase of the centrifuged SLN homogenate obtained from the OSNA assay of samples from two patients with BC was used for mRNA extraction. Subsequently, the expression of five genes, namely forkhead box, cluster of differentiation 4 and three control genes, was determined by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR analysis. The results demonstrated that high-quality RNA was extracted. Therefore, this RNA may be used for gene expression analyses to predict novel molecular biomarkers associated with immuno-inflammatory microenvironment.
