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

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) overexpression correlates with both loss of estrogen receptor (ER) and poor prognosis in breast cancer. Interestingly, in normal breast EGFR appears to be expressed more frequently than in malignant tissue, and there may be a different relationship between ER and EGFR. A variety of cellular regulators, such as EGF, TGF alpha, phorbol esters, and steroid hormones, are capable of altering the level of EGFR expression in breast cells. However, much work remains to be done on the mechanistic details of EGFR regulation in this disease. The significance of EGFR as an oncogene in breast cancer is compounded by its potential interactions with other oncogenes such as c-erbB-2 and c-myc. Additionally, several recent studies have placed EGFR prominently in the signal transduction pathway, demonstrating that the EGFR-ligand system may play important roles throughout the course of malignant progression in breast cancer.
