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

backgroundAlthough immunotherapy has been used in the treatment of metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), its therapeutic influence on human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive subtype remains controversial. It is therefore imperative to find biomarkers that can predict the immune response in HER2+ BC.

methodsESTIMATE was utilized to compute the ImmuneScore and StromalScore from data obtained from TCGA database, and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. In addition, univariate Cox regression was used to assess candidate genes such as AMPD1, CD33, and CCR5. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to further understand AMPD1-associated pathways. Moreover, immunohistochemical analyses were performed to further reveal the relationship among AMPD1, CD4 and CD8 genes.

resultsThe expression of AMPD1 was markedly associated with disease outcome and tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TICs). In addition, AMPD1 was associated with lymph node status, age and the expression of PD-L1 and PD-L2. High AMPD1 expression was linked to longer overall survival (OS). Upregulated expression of AMPD1 correlated with the enrichment of immune-related signaling pathways. In addition, immunohistochemical analyses demonstrated a co-expression profile among AMPD1, CD4 and CD8 genes.

conclusionsTaken together, our data demonstrated that AMPD1 might serve as a novel biomarker for predicting the immune response and disease outcome in HER2+ BC.
