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

Different breast cancer (BC) subtypes have unique gene expression patterns, but their regulatory mechanisms have yet to be fully elucidated. We hypothesized that the top upregulated (Yin) and downregulated (Yang) genes determine the fate of cancer cells. To reveal the regulatory determinants of these Yin and Yang genes in different BC subtypes, we developed a lasso regression model integrating DNA methylation (DM), copy number variation (CNV) and microRNA (miRNA) expression of 391 BC patients, coupled with miRNA-target interactions and transcription factor (TF) binding sites. A total of 25, 20, 15 and 24 key regulators were identified for luminal A, luminal B, Her2-enriched, and triple negative (TN) subtypes, respectively. Many of the 24 TN regulators were found to regulate the PPARA and FOXM1 pathways. The Yin Yang gene expression mean ratio (YMR) and combined risk score (CRS) signatures built with either the targets of or the TN regulators were associated with the BC patients' survival. Previously, we identified FOXM1 and PPARA as the top Yin and Yang pathways in TN, respectively. These two pathways and their regulators could be further explored experimentally, which might help to identify potential therapeutic targets for TN.
