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

BACKGROUND/

aimTrastuzumab and tamoxifen are two of the most widely prescribed anti-cancer drugs for breast cancer (BC). To date, few studies have explored the impact of anticancer drugs on metabolic pathways in BC. Metabolomics is an emerging technology that can identify new biomarkers for tracking therapy response and novel therapeutic targets. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe employed ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QTOF-MS) to investigate changes in MCF-7 and SkBr3 cell lines treated with either tamoxifen, trastuzumab or a combination of both. The Bruker Human Metabolome Database (HMDB) metabolite library was used to match spectra and the MetaboScape software to assign each feature with a putative metabolite name or molecular formula for metabolite annotation.

resultsA total of 98 metabolites were found to significantly differ in abundance in MCF-7 and SkBr3 treated cells. Moreover, the metabolic profile of the combination medication is similar to that of tamoxifen alone, according to functional enrichment analysis.

conclusionTamoxifen/trastuzumab treatment had a significant effect on pathways essential for the control of energy-production, which have previously been linked to cancer progression, and aggressiveness.
