Correlation study of PBK/TOPK expression, prognosis, and immune infiltration in breast cancer.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
PDZ-binding kinase/T-lymphokine-activated killer-cell-originated protein kinase (PBK/TOPK) is a serine-threonine protein kinase. This study aimed to investigate the expression pattern, prognostic significance, and relationship with tumor immune infiltration of PBK/TOPK in breast cancer through bioinformatics analyses and immunohistochemistry (IHC), providing insights for individualized treatment and immunotherapy strategies. PBK/TOPK expression and its correlation with clinicopathological features were analyzed using TIMER, UALCAN, and TCGA databases. Prognostic value was assessed via Kaplan-Meier plotter and bc-GenExMiner. Variants of the PBK/TOPK gene and their prognostic implications were explored using cBioPortal. Enrichment analysis in R identified signaling pathways linked to PBK/TOPK. The relationships between PBK/TOPK, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), and immune cell markers were evaluated using TIMER and TISIDB. IHC experiments validated PBK/TOPK expression in tumor samples and its association with prognosis. Meanwhile, IHC also further confirmed the correlation between PBK/TOPK and CD4
