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

The focus on breast cancer treatment has shifted from the cytotoxic effects of single drugs on tumor cells to multidimensional multi‑pathway synergistic intervention strategies targeting the tumor microenvironment (TME). The activation of the Wnt signaling pathway in the TME of breast cancer cells serves a key regulatory role in tissue homeostasis and is a key driver of the carcinogenic process. Modulating the crosstalk between the Wnt pathway and TME of breast cancer is key for understanding the biological behavior of breast cancer and advancing the development of novel antitumor drugs. The present review aimed to summarize the complex mechanisms of the Wnt signaling pathway in the breast cancer TME, interactions between the Wnt signaling pathway and components of the breast cancer TME and breast cancer‑associated genes, as well as the interactions between the Wnt signaling pathway and other signaling cascades at the molecular level. Furthermore, the present review aimed to highlight the unique advantages of the Wnt signaling pathway in the macro‑regulation of the TME and the current therapeutic strategies targeting the Wnt signaling pathway, their potential clinical value and future research directions in breast cancer treatment.
