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

Sera from 182 newly diagnosed breast cancer patients were assayed for antibodies to p53 using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method, and antibodies were detected in 48 (26%) compared with 1 out of 76 (1.3%) normal control volunteers (P = 0.0001). In breast cancer patients, autoantibodies were found in all stages of disease progression: carcinoma in situ, primary invasive breast cancer and in metastatic disease. In the subset of patients in whom sequential sera were assessed over a 6 month period, changes in the p53 antibody titres were observed. The presence of antibodies to p53 correlated positively with high histological grade (P = 0.0012) and a history of second primary cancer (six positive out of eight cases). The incidence of autoantibodies was lower in those patients with a first-degree relative with breast cancer (P = 0.046). Out of 68 patients, there was a significant correlation between positive p53 autoantibody status and the detection of p53 protein in the tissue sections by immunocytochemistry (P = 0.002). In the seronegative patients, positive p53 tumour staining was strongly associated with a family history of breast cancer (P = 0.009). The p53 protein overexpressed in heritable breast cancers may therefore be less immunogenic. The presence of p53 autoantibodies provides important additional information to immunochemistry and may identify patients with aggressive histological types of breast cancer.
