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

Objective: Brain metastasis (BM) is associated with a high mortality in patients with breast cancer (BC). Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms of BM in BM remain uncertain. The study aims to identify the key genes in BC in relation to BM and to assess their prognostic value. Methods: Two microarray datasets GSE125989 and GSE100534 were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between primary BC and BM samples. The function enrichment analysis and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network were performed. We mapped hub genes into the Kaplan-Meier database for their correlations with BC survival. Results: Venn diagram analysis showed an overlapped upregulated DEG and 18 overlapped downregulated ones between primary BC and BM samples. We constructed the PPI network, and top 5 hub genes were sorted out according to the node degree, including type I collagen Conclusion: The study suggests that COL1A1, COL3A1, and POSTN may be key genes associated with BM in patients with BC.
