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 type 1 family of growth factor receptors includes the EGFR, c-erbB2, c-erbB3, and c-erbB4. All four members of the family are expressed in breast cancer. The EGFR gene and more frequently the c-erbB2 gene are amplified in a proportion of cases. In addition to increased expression as a result of gene amplification, overexpression of perhaps all of the receptors also appears to occur, probably as a result of increased mRNA transcription. Overexpression may have prognostic value and may predict response to current therapies. Finally these GFR proteins represent targets for new types of chemotherapeutic agents.
