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

We aimed to identify triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) drivers that regulate survival time as predictive signatures that improve TNBC prognostication. Breast cancer (BrCa) transcriptomic tumor biopsies were analyzed, identifying network communities enriched with TNBC-specific differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and correlated strongly to TNBC status. Two anticorrelated modules correlated strongly to TNBC subtype and survival. Querying module-specific hubs and DEGs revealed transcriptional changes associated with high survival. Transcripts were nominated as biomarkers and tested as combinatoric ratios using receiver operator characteristic (ROC) analysis to assess survival prediction. ROC test rounds integrated genes with established interactions to hubs and DEGs of key modules, improving prediction. Finally, we tested whether integration of literature-derived genes for implicated hallmark cancer processes could improve prediction of survival. Complementary coexpression, differential expression, genetic interaction, and survival stratification integrated by ROC optimization uncovered a panel of "linchpin survival genes" predictive of patient survival, representing gene interactions in hallmark cancer processes.
