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

Limited information is available for TP53 pathogenic variants (PVs) in early-onset breast cancer patients in China. We investigated the prevalence and clinical relevance of TP53 PVs among 1492 BRCA1/2-negative early-onset breast cancer patients. Peripheral blood samples were collected for TP53 genetic testing through next-generation sequencing. Finally, TP53 PVs were identified in 7 patients (0.47%). The variants p.R248P, p.I251F, and p.G266R were identified for the first time in germline mutations. TP53 carriers exhibited significantly younger diagnosis age (p = 0.003) and higher prevalence of HER2-positive disease (p = 0.020). All carriers were diagnosed before age 35. In HER2-positive patients ≤35 years, the prevalence of TP53 PVs was 2.3%, significantly higher than others after adjusting for a family history of breast cancer and/or ovarian cancer and a personal history of bilateral breast cancer (OR = 13.57, p = 0.002). These results support TP53 genetic testing prioritization for HER2-positive patients under 35 years to guide clinical management, while validation in diverse populations remains essential.
