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

Background: N6-methylation (m6A) modification of RNA has been found to have essential effects on aspects of the tumor microenvironment (TME) including hypoxia status and mobilization of immune cells. However, there are no studies to explore the combined effect of m6A modification and hypoxia on molecular heterogeneity and TME of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Methods: We collected The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA-TNBC, Results: Based on the expression of m6A-related genes, we identified three distinct m6A clusters (denoted A, B, and C) in TNBC samples. Comparing the TME characteristics among the three clusters, we observed that cluster C was strongly related to hypoxia status and immune suppression, whereas clusters A and B displayed more immune cell infiltration. Therefore, we combine m6A and hypoxia related genes to classify two m6A-hypoxia clusters of TNBC and screened six prognostic genes by LASSO-Cox regression to construct a m6A-hypoxia signature(MHPS), which divided TNBC samples into high- and low-risk groups. We identified different TME features, immune cell infiltration between the two groups, and a better immunotherapy response was observed in the low-risk group. A nomogram was constructed with tumor size, lymph node, and risk score to improve clinical application of MHPS. Conclusion: We identified distinct TME characteristics of TNBC based on three different m6A modification patterns. Then, we constructed a specific m6A-hypoxia signature for TNBC to evaluate risk and predict immunotherapy response of patients, to enable more accurate treatment in the future.
