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

Cell division cycle 20 homolog (CDC20) is a well-known regulator of cell cycle progression. Abnormal expression of CDC20 leads to mitotic defects, which play a significant role in cancer development. In breast cancer (BC), CDC20 has been identified as a biomarker that has been linked to poor patient outcomes. In this study, we investigated the association of CDC20 with BC prognosis and immune cell infiltration by using multiple online databases, including UALCAN, KM plotter, TIMER2.0, HPA, TNM-plot, bc-GenExMiner, LinkedOmics, STRING, and GEPIA. The results demonstrate that BC patients have an elevated CDC20 expression in tumor tissues compared with the adjacent normal tissue. In addition, BC patients with overexpressed CDC20 had a median survival of 63.6 months compared to 169.2 months in patients with low CDC20 expression. Prognostic analysis of the examined data indicated that elevated expression of CDC20 was associated with poor prognosis and a reduction of overall survival in BC patients. These findings were even more prevalent in chemoresistance triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients. Furthermore, the Gene Set Enrichment Analysis tool indicated that CDC20 regulates BC cells' cell cycle and apoptosis. CDC20 also significantly correlates with increased infiltrating B cells, CD4+ T cells, neutrophils, and dendritic cells in BC. In conclusion, the findings of this study suggest that CDC20 may be involved in immunomodulating the tumor microenvironment and provide evidence that CDC20 inhibition may serve as a potential therapeutic approach for the treatment of BC patients. In addition, the data indicates that CDC20 can be a reliable prognostic biomarker for BC.
