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

Triple‑negative breast cancer (TNBC) accounts for the worst prognosis of all types of breast cancers due to a high risk of recurrence and a lack of targeted therapeutic options. Extensive effort is required to identify novel targets for TNBC. In the present study, a robust rank aggregation (RRA) analysis based on genome‑wide gene expression datasets involving TNBC patients from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database was performed to identify key genes associated with TNBC. A total of 194 highly ranked differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in TNBC vs. non‑TNBC. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway (KEGG) enrichment analysis was utilized to explore the biological functions of the identified genes. These DEGs were mainly involved in the biological processes termed positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter, negative regulation of apoptotic process, response to drug, response to estradiol and negative regulation of cell growth. Genes were mainly involved in the KEGG pathway termed estrogen signaling pathway. The aberrant expression of several randomly selected DEGs were further validated in cell lines, clinical tissues and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort. Furthermore, all the top‑ranked DEGs underwent survival analysis using TCGA database, of which overexpression of 4 genes (FABP7, ART3, CT83, and TTYH1) were positively correlated to the life expectancy (P<0.05) of TNBC patients. In addition, a model consisting of two genes (FABP7 and CT83) was identified to be significantly associated with the overall survival (OS) of TNBC patients by means of Cox regression, Kaplan‑Meier, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses. In conclusion, the present study identified a number of key genes as potential biomarkers involved in TNBC, which provide novel insights into the tumorigenesis of TNBC at the gene level and may serve as independent prognostic factors for TNBC prognosis.
