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

The progesterone receptor (PR) is a critical regulator of hormone signaling in breast tissue, with its 2 primary isoforms, PR-A and PR-B, exhibiting distinct and sometimes opposing functions. These isoforms arise from alternative promoter usage within the PGR gene, resulting in structural differences that influence their transcriptional activity, regulatory interactions, and post-translational modifications. This review explores the historical discovery of PR isoforms, their structural and functional differences, and the molecular mechanisms governing their transcriptional regulation. We also discuss their physiological roles in normal mammary gland development and how their dysregulation contributes to breast cancer progression, endocrine resistance, and cancer stem cell expansion. Understanding the distinct roles of PR isoforms in breast cancer biology holds significant implications for developing targeted therapeutic strategies aimed at modulating isoform-specific PR activity in hormone-driven cancers.
