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) is one of the most aggressive form of breast cancer (BC) with the highest mortality due to high rate of relapse, resistance, and lack of an effective treatment. Various molecular approaches have been used to target TNBC but with little success. Here, using machine learning algorithms, we analyzed the available BC data from the Cancer Genome Atlas Network (TCGA) and have identified two potential genes, TBC1D9 (TBC1 domain family member 9) and MFGE8 (Milk Fat Globule-EGF Factor 8 Protein), that could successfully differentiate TNBC from non-TNBC, irrespective of their heterogeneity. TBC1D9 is under-expressed in TNBC as compared to non-TNBC patients, while MFGE8 is over-expressed. Overexpression of TBC1D9 has a better prognosis whereas overexpression of MFGE8 correlates with a poor prognosis. Protein-protein interaction analysis by affinity purification mass spectrometry (AP-MS) and proximity biotinylation (BioID) experiments identified a role for TBC1D9 in maintaining cellular integrity, whereas MFGE8 would be involved in various tumor survival processes. These promising genes could serve as biomarkers for TNBC and deserve further investigation as they have the potential to be developed as therapeutic targets for TNBC.
