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

Increasing evidence has shown that mammaglobin, GATA-binding protein 3 (GATA3), and epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) have unique clinical implications for breast cancer subtyping and classification, as well as for breast cancer targeted therapy. It is particularly important to clarify the correlation between their expression and different molecular breast carcinoma subtypes to better understand the molecular basis of the subtypes and to identify effective therapeutic targets for the disease. This study aimed to evaluate mammaglobin, GATA3, and EGFR expression in different breast cancer subtypes, as well as their clinical significance. Subjects of the study included 228 patients with breast cancer at The First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China. They were divided into triple negative (TN), Luminal A, Luminal B, and HER-2 positive (HER-2.P) breast cancer groups based on molecular classification. Immunohistochemical methods were used to detect mammaglobin, GATA3, and EGFR expression in cases of different molecular subtypes before determining the correlation between protein expression and subtype. Mammaglobin and GATA3 expression levels were found to significantly vary with respect to histopathological grade, lymph node status, and molecular subtype; EGFR expression was significantly correlated with breast cancer histopathological grade and molecular subtype. For breast cancer, the expression levels of mammaglobin and GATA3, as well as mammaglobin and EGFR, were significantly correlated. In addition, there was a significantly negative correlation between the expression levels of GATA3 and EGFR in breast cancer tissue samples, especially in HER-2.P samples. These findings provide a theoretical basis for assessing breast cancer clinical prognosis based on the cancer subtype, and hence, have significant practical value.
