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: Protein glycosylation is the enzymatic addition of sugar chains to specific protein sites and part of this process has a crucial functional modification associated with carcinogenesis and cancer progression. This study aimed to profile and confirm aberrant immunoglobulin G (IgG) protein glycosylation in sera obtained from individuals with breast cancer (BC), with emphasis on breadth of lectin panel and subtype-specific patterns. Methods: A total of 185 sera underwent lectin microarray analysis with 56 lectins. Validation was performed on sera from an additional 20 BC patients and 6 healthy controls. Results: Differential binding intensities of IgG glycans to Agaricus bisporus lectins (ABA) and Salvia sclarea (SSA) were observed between BC patients and healthy controls (P<0.05). In hormone receptor-positive (HR Conclusions: By employing a broad 56-lectin microarray and subtype analysis, our results reveal distinct serum IgG glycosylation profiles associated with different BC molecular markers. These findings offer a novel framework for investigating disease pathogenesis and identifying candidate biomarkers for BC.
