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

Immunotherapy has been found to be efficient in a variety of cancers and, therefore, may be a promising strategy for breast cancer (BC), particularly due to the limited therapeutic options currently available for triple-negative BC (TNBC). However, heterogeneity of tumor mutation burden (TMB), immune gene expression and mismatch repair (MMR) gene activity across BC subtypes has not been well characterized. In the present study, a comprehensive analysis of TMB, expression levels of immune cell type marker genes, and expression levels of MMR-associated genes was performed. A total of 5 MMR-associated genes, including
