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: Ubiquitin-specific protease15(USP15), is the 16th identified protease in the USP family and is a key protein in tumorigenesis. However, the predictive value and regulatory mechanism of USP15 in breast cancer are unclear. Methods: The GEPIA, UALCAN, GeneMANIA, and STRING databases were applied to explore the expression of USP15 in breast cancer and associated proteins. In addition, the TIMER database was evaluated for immune infiltration patterns. Moreover, protein immunoblotting assay, cell scratching assay, small compartment invasion assay, 3D stromal gel assay, immunoprecipitation assay, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) were used to USP15 regulatory mechanisms in breast cancer. Results: In BRCA, several databases, including GEPIA and UALCAN, describe the upregulation of total protein levels and USP15 phosphorylation. In addition, the expression of USP15 was significantly correlated with gender and clinical stage. Overall survival (OS) was lower in patients with high USP15 expression. Functional network analysis showed that USP15 is involved in tumor-associated pathways, DNA replication, and cell cycle signaling through TGF Conclusions: These findings demonstrate that high USP15 expression indicates poor prognosis in BRCA and reveal potential regulatory networks and the positive relationship with immune infiltration. Thus, USP15 may be an attractive predictor for BRCA.
