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

Breast cancer (BC) is a heterogeneous disease influenced by genetic and regulatory mechanisms. Despite this, X-linked non-coding variants remain underexplored, particularly in admixed Latin American populations. Therefore, this study aimed to characterize the non-coding variant rs5945619 at Xp11.22 in Ecuadorian mestizo women with BC and to assess its potential regulatory effects on nearby genes through in silico cis-eQTL analysis. A prospective observational case series was conducted in 21 Ecuadorian mestizo women with histologically confirmed BC. Tumor DNA was extracted and analyzed using the Illumina TruSight Cancer Sequencing Panel. The rs5945619 variant was identified from sequencing data and compared with reference allele frequencies from dbSNP, ALFA, and the 1000 Genomes Project. Regulatory potential was assessed using RegulomeDB v2.2, and tissue-specific cis-eQTL associations were explored using GTEx. All 21 patients carried the genetic variant rs5945619 in a heterozygous state. The mean age at diagnosis was 54.5 ± 12.2 years, and invasive breast carcinoma of no special type was the predominant histological subtype. The T-allele frequency in the study cohort was 0.50, whereas Latin American reference populations showed higher frequencies ranging from 0.69 to 0.83. RegulomeDB assigned rs5945619 a rank of 1f and a functional score of 0.22, supporting its regulatory potential. GTEx analysis identified tissue-specific cis-eQTL signals, including
