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

purposeThe aim of this study was to investigate the expression and clinical implications of CCN family member 5 (CCN5) and the oestrogen receptor (ER) in advanced breast cancer (BC).

methodsA total of 130 patients with advanced BC were selected for the study. Samples of normal breast tissue, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), and invasive carcinoma were collected. The expression levels of CCN5 and ER in these tissues were examined using immunohistochemical methods. The correlation between expression of CCN5 and ER in different tissues and also differences in expression in invasive carcinoma were analysed. In addition, the relationship between CCN5 expression in advanced BC tissues and clinical pathological features was examined.

resultsCCN5 and ER had low expression in normal breast tissues and invasive carcinoma tissues, but high expression in DCIS, with this difference being statistically significant (X

conclusionHigh expression of CCN5 and ER was observed in DCIS tissues of patients with advanced BC, with their expression being positively correlated. These findings suggest that CCN5 and ER may have a potential synergistic role in the progression of BC that influences the progression of advanced BC and can also be used to predict the effectiveness of endocrine therapy.
