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

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a non-obligate precursor of invasive breast cancer. Virtually all women with DCIS are treated, despite evidence suggesting up to half would remain with stable, non-threatening, disease. Overtreatment thus presents a pressing issue in DCIS management. To understand the role of the normally tumour suppressive myoepithelial cell in disease progression we present a 3D in vitro model incorporating both luminal and myoepithelial cells in physiomimetic conditions. We demonstrate that DCIS-associated myoepithelial cells promote striking myoepithelial-led invasion of luminal cells, mediated by the collagenase MMP13 through a non-canonical TGFβ - EP300 pathway. In vivo, MMP13 expression is associated with stromal invasion in a murine model of DCIS progression and is elevated in myoepithelial cells of clinical high-grade DCIS cases. Our data identify a key role for myoepithelial-derived MMP13 in facilitating DCIS progression and point the way towards a robust marker for risk stratification in DCIS patients.
