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

Purpose: To identify molecular clusters associated with ferroptosis and to develop a ferroptosis-related signature for providing novel potential targets for the recurrence-free survival and treatment of breast cancer. Methods: Ferroptosis-related gene (FRG) signature was constructed by univariate and multivariate Cox regression and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO). Receiver operating characteristic curves, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, principal component analysis, and univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses in the training and test cohorts were used to evaluate the application of this signature. Quantitative reverse transcriptase-PCR (qRT-PCR) was employed to detect the expression of FRGs in the model. Furthermore, the correlations between the signature and immune microenvironment, somatic mutation, and chemotherapeutic drugs sensitivity were explored. Results: Internal and external validations affirmed that relapse-free survival differed significantly between the high-risk and low-risk groups. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses indicated that the riskScore was an independent prognostic factor for BRCA. The areas under the curve (AUCs) for predicting 1-, 2-, and 3-year survival in the training and test cohorts were satisfactory. Significant differences were also found in the immune microenvironment and IC50 of chemotherapeutic drugs between different risk groups. Furthermore, we divided patients into three clusters based on 18 FRGs to ameliorate the situation of immunotherapy failure in BRCA. Conclusions: The FRG signature functions as a robust prognostic predictor of the immune microenvironment and therapeutic response, with great potential to guide individualized treatment strategies in the future.
