Erratum

The original article [1] contains an error in Fig. 3 whereby the trend lines denoting Low & High E-cadherin were mistakenly labelled the opposite way around.

The correct Fig. 3 with appropriately labelled trend lines can be viewed ahead.

Fig. 3
figure 1

Kaplan–Meier stratified by E-cadherin expression in breast cancer. Compared with those with low E-cadherin, patients with high expression had superior overall survival (P = 0.002) (c), disease-free survival (P = 0.171) (b), and distant-metastasis-free survival (P = 0.162) (a)
