GATA3 and markers of epithelial-mesenchymal transition predict long-term benefit from tamoxifen in ER-positive breast cancer.
Article in NPJ breast cancer, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
GATA binding protein 3 (GATA3) is essential for normal development of the mammary gland and associated with ER-positive breast cancer. Loss of GATA3 has been associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in experimental studies. We investigated tumoral GATA3 in a cohort of postmenopausal patients with lymph-node negative breast cancer, randomized to adjuvant tamoxifen or control. Nuclear GATA3 expression was assessed with immunohistochemistry and GATA3 gene expression with Agilent microarrays. High GATA3 nuclear expression was associated with a lower rate of distant recurrence in ER-positive breast cancer (HR = 0.60, 95% CI 0.39-0.93). Low gene expression of GATA3 was associated with limited long-term benefit from adjuvant tamoxifen (interaction: p = 0.033). GATA3 gene expression was associated with the epithelial markers CDH1 (E-cadherin) and FOXA1, whereas negatively associated with several mesenchymal markers. Low expression of CDH1 was associated with marginal tamoxifen benefit (HR = 0.80 (0.43-1.49)), whereas patients with higher expression showed a significant benefit (HR = 0.33 (0.20-0.55), interaction: p = 0.029). In ER-positive breast cancer, diminished expression of GATA3 is associated with markers of EMT and poor long-term benefit from tamoxifen.
