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 disease with high heterogeneity. Cancer is not usually caused by a single gene, but by multiple genes and their interactions with others and surroundings. Estimating breast cancer-specific gene-gene interaction networks is critical to elucidate the mechanisms of breast cancer from a biological network perspective. In this study, sample-specific gene-gene interaction networks of breast cancer samples were established by using a sample-specific network analysis method based on gene expression profiles. Then, gene-gene interaction networks and pathways related to breast cancer and its subtypes and stages were further identified. The similarity and difference among these subtype-related (and stage-related) networks and pathways were studied, which showed highly specific for subtype Basal-like and Stages IV and V. Finally, gene pairwise interactions associated with breast cancer prognosis were identified by a Cox proportional hazards regression model, and a risk prediction model based on the gene pairs was established, which also performed very well on an independent validation data set. This work will help us to better understand the mechanism underlying the occurrence of breast cancer from the sample-specific network perspective.
