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

Inhibitor of differentiation 4 (ID4) is a highly conserved DNA-binding inhibitory protein of mammals, and its main role is to bind basic helix-loop-helix (b-HLH) so that it loses its DNA-binding activity, which in turn regulates the transcription of key genes, regulating cell differentiation and proliferation as the physiological function. Breast tissue is a highly heterogeneous tissue organ with a strong capacity for remodeling and differentiation, and studies of breast carcinogenesis suggest that the mechanisms regulating the differentiation of breast tissue interact critically with tumorigenesis. The expression level of ID4 and its regulatory mechanism play a crucial role in the study of breast cancer, but its oncogenic or oncostatic role has not yet been unanimously identified, and its regulatory mechanism in breast cancer still needs to be further elucidated. This review summarizes and analyzes the relevant studies of ID4 and the research progress in breast cancer, integrating the development of breast tissue and tumorigenesis with the regulatory role of ID4, to provide some insights into develop new treatment strategies and diagnostic biomarkers.
