Clinical significance of breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 expression in resected non-small cell lung cancer: A meta-analysis.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 clinical significance of breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients undergoing surgery remains unclear up to now.
aimTo explore the relation of BRCA1 expression with clinicopathological characteristics and survival in patients with resected NSCLC.
methodsEMBASE, PubMed, Web of Science, and The Cochrane Library databases were searched to identify the relevant articles. To assess the correlation between the expression of BRCA1 and clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients with resected NSCLC patients, the combined relative risks or hazard ratios (HRs) with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals [CIs] were estimated.
resultsTotally, 11 articles involving 1041 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The results indicated that the expression of BRCA1 was significantly correlated with prognosis of resected NSCLC. Positive BRCA1 expression signified a shorter overall survival (HR = 1.60, 95%CI: 1.25-2.05;
conclusionBRCA1 expression indicates a poor prognosis in resected NSCLC patients. BRCA1 might serve as an independent biomarker to predict clinical outcomes and help to customize optimal adjuvant chemotherapy for NSCLC patients who had received surgical therapy.
