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

backgroundAlthough breast cancer is a significant heterogeneous disease with an increasing global prevalence, precise prognostic evaluation is a vital aspect of designing personalized therapy strategies and upholding patients' survival rates. With the incorporation of artificial intelligence technology, in particular, machine learning, cancer prognosis and prediction have significantly been redefined.

methodsIn this study, we adopted a ten-fold cross-validation method to construct a Machine Learning-Derived Transcription Factor Signature (MDTS) across 108 algorithmic combinations. The optimal model was selected based on the highest average C-index across ten cohorts. We integrated single-cell data with multi-omics analysis to comprehensively assess the robustness of the MDTS model at both molecular and genomic levels. The MDTS demonstrated superior predictive power, outperforming 103 existing signatures and accurately predicting breast cancer outcomes across 10 independent cohorts.

resultsOur findings revealed that patients with low MDTS scores are more likely to benefit from immunotherapy, while the PAC-1 drug was identified as the most targeted agents to the chemotherapy with high MDTS score.

conclusionsThese insights will open the door to delivering cutting-edge MDTS strategies to customizing breast cancer therapies.
