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

Background: Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a critical role in breast cancer (BRCA) initiation, invasion, metastasis, and prognosis. Objectives: To develop and validate a comprehensive EMT-related gene signature for robust prognosis prediction in BRCA. Design: Retrospective multi-cohort study. Methods: We obtained 1223 BRCA samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and 1184 EMT-related genes from the dbEMT2.0 public database. Prognostic genes were selected via univariate Cox and LASSO regression analyses to construct a risk score model, which was subsequently validated in independent internal cohort (TCGA) and external cohorts (UCSC and GEO). Finally, a nomogram integrating the risk score with clinical parameters was established. Results: A 15-gene EMT signature was identified and used to stratify patients into high- and low-risk groups. The high-risk group exhibited significantly poorer overall survival in the TCGA cohort ( Conclusions: We developed and validated a novel 15-gene EMT signature and a corresponding nomogram, which provide a potential tool for prognostic stratification in BRCA patients.
