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

backgroundThe prevalence of breast cancer groups requires further clarification to understand the mechanisms leading to its development. B7H4 is a novel immune checkpoint protein that negatively regulates T cell activation and function. It is overexpressed in several cancers and breast cancer is one of them.

aimThis case-control study aimed to examine the association of B7H4 (rs10754339 A>G) gene polymorphism and its serum level with breast cancer among Egyptian females.

methodThe study enrolled 100 women with breast cancer and 100 healthy cancer-free women. B7H4 (rs10754339 A>G) genotyping was performed for all participants using Tetra-ARMS-PCR technology. Additionally, serum sB7-H4 level was measured using an ELISA method.

resultsB7H4 (rs10754339 A>G) gene variant indicated a substantially association with the breast cancer risk under various genetic models, including codominant model (AG genotype), dominant and over-dominant models (p<0.001). Also, the serum B7H4 level of patients was significantly higher in the patients than healthy controls (p<0.001).

conclusionThe B7H4 (rs10754339 A>G) genetic variant was considered a risk factor for breast cancer among Egyptian women and assessment of serum B7H4 levels could be considered as a prognostic marker for breast cancer.
