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

backgroundThe triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) constitutes a heterogeneous disease with an aggressive behavior and a poor prognosis. A better understanding of its biology is required to identify new biomarkers and improve clinical outcomes. SUMMARY: To date, the definition and classification of TNBC depends on a multiomic approach including immunohistochemistry (IHC), genomic, and transcriptomic features, and the tumor immune landscape. The development of new technologies has allowed us to sequence the whole cancer genome. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and next-generation sequencing have led to a greater knowledge of DNA alterations such as TP53 or BRCA mutations, copy number variations, and DNA methylations. In addition, gene expression profiling has allowed to define a molecular intrinsic classification of TNBC based on mRNA. IHC and genomic profiling are also necessary to identify new immune biomarkers such as the presence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and the expression of immune checkpoint molecules. KEY MESSAGES: This review aimed to provide recent knowledge of TNBC biology and classification focused on IHC, transcriptomics, genomic features, and the new immune biomarkers.
