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

Increasing evidence has shown that the tumor microenvironment (TME) plays an important role in tumor occurrence and development and can also affect patient prognosis. In this study, we screened key prognostic genes in the breast cancer (BC) TME by analyzing the immune and stromal scores of tumor samples to detect differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and also constructed a TME-related prognostic model. First, we obtained mRNA-Seq and related clinical information for patients with BC from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and calculated the stromal and immune scores of tumor tissues using the ESTIMATE algorithm. Next, we performed functional enrichment analysis and generated protein-protein interaction networks from the DEGs that were highly related to the TME. Finally, Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was performed on BC datasets from TCGA, and analyses were conducted on infiltrating immune cells and the human protein atlas. Together, these analyses indicated that the
