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

Breast cancer (BC) is a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. The diverse nature and heterogeneous biology of BC pose challenges for survival prediction, as patients with similar diagnoses often respond differently to treatment. Clinically relevant BC intrinsic subtypes have been established through gene expression profiling and are implemented in the clinic. While these intrinsic subtypes show a significant association with clinical outcomes, their long-term survival prediction beyond 5 years often deviates from expected clinical outcomes. This study aimed to identify naturally occurring long-term prognostic subgroups of BC based on an integrated multi-omics analysis. This study incorporates a clinical cohort of 335 untreated BC patients from the Oslo2 study with long-term follow-up (>12 years). Multi-Omics Factor Analysis (MOFA+) was employed to integrate transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic data obtained from the tumor tissues. Our analysis revealed three prominent multi-omics clusters of BC patients with significantly different long-term prognoses (p = 0.005). The multi-omics clusters were validated in two independent large cohorts, METABRIC and TCGA. Importantly, a lack of prognostic association to long-term follow-up above 12 years in the previously established intrinsic subtypes was shown for these cohorts. Through a systems-biology approach, we identified varying enrichment levels of cell-cycle and immune-related pathways among the prognostic clusters. Integrated multi-omics analysis of BC revealed three distinct clusters with unique clinical and biological characteristics. Notably, these multi-omics clusters displayed robust associations with long-term survival, outperforming the established intrinsic subtypes.
