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

Background: Several malignant tumors have been shown to overexpress aldolase A (ALDOA), a crucial enzyme in the glycolytic cycle. Though, it is still unknown how ALDOA contributes to breast cancer (BC). Methods: Using GEPIA, TIMER, UALCAN, BC-GenExMiner v5.1 database, and immunohistochemistry on 96 BC patients, the expression of ALDOA was investigated. The correlation between ALDOA expression and the prognosis was evaluated by employing the Kaplan-Meier (KM) plotter in breast cancer patients. Results: The expression of ALDOA mRNA was higher in BC compared to the normal tissues. Certain subtypes of BC showed higher ALDOA expression, including micropapillary, luminal B, non-basal-like, non-triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), and luminal androgen receptor (LAR). Overexpression of ALDOA was related to the presence of lymph node metastasis (LNM), older age, high Ki67 expression, estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) positivity, and advanced Scarff-Bloom-Richardson (SBR) and Nottingham Prognostic Index (NPI) grades, while decreased ALDOA mRNA levels were observed in TNBC and basal-like BC. KM plotter showed that higher ALDOA mRNA levels predicted worse overall survival (OS), relapse-free survival (RFS), and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) overall. However, in BC patients with LNM, higher ALDOA levels correlated to better DMFS. Conclusion: ALDOA was a crucial prognostic factor required for BC advancement, indicating a possible target for BC treatment.
