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

Glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) plays an important role in the development of neurodegenerative diseases. However, the underlying effect of GSK-3β polymorphism on chemobrain in cancer survivors is unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between GSK-3β polymorphism and chemotherapy-associated retrospective memory deficits in breast cancer survivors. The difference in GSK-3β gene expression between breast cancer patients and healthy controls was confirmed using bioinformatics technology. All participants (197 with breast cancer and 40 healthy controls) underwent prospective and retrospective memory tests, and five single-nucleotide polymorphism loci of GSK-3β (rs3107669, rs1154597, rs334543, rs334558 and rs3755557) were genotyped from peripheral blood. Breast cancer survivors had memory impairment after chemotherapy (P<0.0001). The expression difference of the GSK-3β gene was determined through bioinformation analysis, and a genotype frequency difference of GSK-3β rs3107669 was found between the breast cancer and healthy control groups. GSK-3β rs3107669 was a genetic risk in comparison to the healthy controls (OR=0.382; 95% CI=0.186-0.786; P=0.009). Breast cancer with the GSK-3β rs3107669 (C/A+A/A) genotype was a protective factor for chemobrain (Beta=-0.306; 95% CI=-5.556~-2.145; P<0.0001) from multiple linear regression. The C/A+A/A genotype carrier performed better on the retrospective memory test than the C/C genotype (z=-4.302, P<0.0001). Breast cancer patients with chemotherapy who also carried the GSK-3β rs3107669 (C/C) genotype more easily presented cognitive deficits. The GSK-3β rs3107669 polymorphism was a feasible genetic risk factor for chemotherapy-associated retrospective memory impairments in breast cancer survivors.
