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

objectiveCD44st is a member of the CD44 family; abnormal expression of some CD44 isoforms are closely associated with axillary lymph node metastasis, cancer progression, and patients' prognosis. The objective of this study is to investigate the correlation between the expression of CD44st and HER2 in breast cancer and the effect on patients' prognosis.

methodsPrimers were designed to target the CD44st mRNA (Gene Bank No FJ216964) which has been newly identified in a drug-resistant breast cancer cell line. The expression of CD44st and HER2 mRNA and proteins in cancerous and paracancerous tissue of postoperative breast cancer patients was detected and compared. Tissue samples were obtained from 102 cases of invasive ductal carcinoma, 19 cases of intraductal carcinoma, and 11 cases of medullary carcinoma. The correlation between CD44st and HER2 expression and clinical pathological features was examined.

resultsThe expression rate of CD44st mRNA and protein in breast cancer tissue was 64.4% (85/132), while HER2 mRNA and protein was expressed in 22.0% (29/106) of the samples. The expression of CD44st and HER2 were low in paracancerous tissue. In breast cancer tissue, the expression rate of HER2 mRNA and protein in the CD44st-positive group was 28.2% (24/85), and 10.6% (5/47) in the CD44st-negative group. This difference was statistically significant (

conclusionCD44st is closely related to the expression of HER2. The expression of CD44st affects patient prognosis and is associated with lymph node metastasis, TNM staging, and molecular subtyping.
