T-type Ca2+ channels and their relationship with pre-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions in the human breast.

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
The expression of T-type voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels (Cav3) has been previously observed in breast cancer, but their expression and subcellular localization were not evaluated in pre-neoplastic lesions. Therefore, this work aimed to evaluate protein expression and subcellular localization of T-type channel isoforms in human breast tissue samples. Protein expressions of CaV3.1, CaV3.2, and CaV3.3 were evaluated by immunohistochemistry in breast without alteration, in proliferative non-neoplastic lesions, and in neoplastic ductal epithelial lesions of the human breast. CaV3.1, CaV3.2, and CaV3.3 nuclear expressions were decreased in advanced stages of neoplastic transformation, whereas CaV3.1 and CaV3.2 cytoplasmic expression increased. Also, the decrease in nuclear expression was correlated with an increase in cytoplasmic expression for CaV3.1 isoform. The change in CaV3 protein expression and subcellular localization are consistent with the neoplastic transformation stages of mammary epithelial cells, evident in early neoplastic lesions, such as ductal carcinomas in situ. These results suggest a possible involvement of CaV3 in the carcinogenic processes and could be considered as a potential pharmacological target in new therapies for breast cancer treatment.
