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 malignant tumour, whose initiation and progression are closely associated with aberrant rewiring of protein-protein interactions (PPIs). This review systematically summarizes the core regulatory mechanisms of PPIs in breast cancer: focusing on neomorphic interactions (neoPPIs) and hypomorphic interactions (hypoPPIs) induced by driver mutations, and dissecting their regulatory effects on key pathways such as apoptotic pathways, DNA damage repair, and hormone receptor signalling. It also summarizes the application progress of critical technologies for PPI research in breast cancer. Furthermore, the review highlights the clinical translational value of PPIs as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets, along with the development and clinical exploration of targeted strategies such as BCL-2 inhibitors and molecular glues. Finally, it discusses the current challenges in breast cancer PPI research, including heterogeneity and drug resistance mechanisms, and prospects future directions such as single-cell level dynamic analysis and artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted drug design. This review provides a new theoretical basis and technical support for the precision treatment of breast cancer.
