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

Accumulation of the tumour-suppressor protein p53 in breast cancer is associated with several prognostic factors that indicate an aggressive, rapidly proliferating tumour with an unstable genome. To assess p53 accumulation in stage I breast cancer and to evaluate the prognostic value of both nuclear and cytoplasmic p53, 205 patients with node-negative breast cancer and tumour size less than or equal to 20 mm were examined. Immunohistochemistry was performed on frozen sections with the monoclonal antibodies PAb 1801 and DO1. Cellular p53 accumulation, within either the nucleus or the cytoplasm or in both, showed the same association with different pathobiological variables as nuclear accumulation alone. Eleven per cent of the tumours showed strong nuclear accumulation and were significantly correlated to age under 50 years, negative oestrogen receptor status, DNA aneuploidy, high S-phase fraction, high pathological grade and poor prognosis. The distant recurrence rate ratio was 6.2 (P = 0.002). It is thus concluded that p53 accumulation is of prognostic value in early stage breast cancer.
