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 is a highly heterogeneous malignancy, characterized by diverse genetic, epigenetic, and phenotypic variations, as well as by metabolic reprogramming and oxidative stress. Lipid peroxidation bioactive product 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) plays a significant role in the development and progression of cancer. In this study, we quantified circulating 4-HNE-modified proteins and performed comprehensive untargeted metabolomic profiling of the patients' plasma using LC-ESI-QTOF-MS and GC-EI-QMS, aiming to investigate systemic metabolic pathways associated with oxidative damage in breast cancer. Significantly elevated levels of 4-HNE-modified proteins were detected in breast cancer patients compared to healthy controls, accompanied by distinct metabolomic signatures enriched in lipid metabolism. Several metabolites, including specific long-chain fatty acids, exhibited significant correlations with circulating 4-HNE-modified proteins, suggesting an interaction between lipid peroxidation-driven protein modification and breast cancer-associated metabolic reprogramming. Overall, this study provides evidence of associations between systemic 4-HNE-mediated protein modification and altered metabolic profiles in breast cancer, highlighting oxidative stress-related metabolites as potential biomarkers and pointing to redox-metabolic crosstalk in breast cancer patients.
