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

Loss of heterozygosity and microsatellite instability have been often reported in breast cancer and seldom in proliferative breast disease (PBD). DNA samples from microdissected PBD lesions, including papillomas (25 lesions), from 8 women were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction for loss of heterozygosity and microsatellite instability at 10 loci including INT-2 oncogene locus, D17S796 (the p53 gene region), and D17S579 (in the region of the BRCA-1 gene). In a patient, five loci with microsatellite instability and two loci with loss of heterozygosity were identified in one papilloma with florid hyperplasia and atypia, and 10 other PBD lesions were negative for genetic alteration (GA) and atypia. Three loci with microsatellite instability were identified in another PBD lesion without atypia, whereas another lesion from this second patient had minimal atypia without GAs. These two patients have been well for more than 20 years. No other patient, including a woman developing cancer, had GAs. We detected GAs in PBD (25% of women, 8% of lesions). Incomplete correlation between GAs and anatomic atypia was suggested. It seems evident that several GAs in PBD lesions may not indicate clinically meaningful premalignancy for remaining breast.
