Identification of pyroptosis related subtypes and tumor microenvironment infiltration characteristics in breast cancer.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
Understanding the association of pyroptosis with tumor progression, prognosis and effect on immunotherapeutic response in breast cancer (BC) is limited. This study analysed forty pyroptosis-related genes to construct the pyroptosis score. Association of the pyroptosis score with the overall survival, clinical features, tumor mutation load, immune cell infiltration, and treatment sensitivity of patients with BC was analysed. Out of 983 BC samples, 304 (30.93%) had genetic alterations with the highest TP53 frequency. We identified three separate subtypes associated with pyroptosis action. These subtypes correlate with the clinicopathological characteristics, TME immune cell infiltration, and disease prognosis. Based on the expression levels of the pyroptosis genes, we divided the pyroptosis score into a high group and a low group. The immune-activated pyroptosis subtype had a higher score with a better prognosis. We also observed that the pyroptosis score correlates with the tumor mutation burden. The pyroptosis score and disease prognosis were directly proportional. A higher pyroptosis score indicated a better prognosis. Results suggest that the pyroptosis-related gene prognosis model is closely related to the immune cell infiltration of BC. The three pyroptosis subtypes associated with BC assist in accurately identifying the tumor subtype, the prognosis of immunotherapy drugs and the patient's therapeutic response.
