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

purposeCD39 (

methodsThis study included 472 patients with primary invasive breast cancer who received surgical treatment at the Breast Cancer Clinic at Chung-Ang University Hospital from June 2010 to May 2017. Using a tissue microarray, biomarker immunostaining was performed for CD39 and CD73. We assessed the expression ratio of CD39 and CD73 in breast cancer subgroups, and investigated the association between disease-free survival (DFS) and the expression of CD39 and CD73.

resultsThe expression ratio of CD39 and CD73 in breast cancer subgroups differed according to hormone receptor status and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status. In the case of CD39, the high-level rate was increased in estrogen receptor (ER)/progesterone receptor (PR) positive (

conclusionIn conclusion, the expression ratio of CD39 and CD73 in breast cancer subgroups differed according to hormone receptor status and HER2 status, and CD73 expression in TILs associated with a trend toward favorable prognosis in HER2 positive breast cancer.
