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: Breast cancer has become the malignancy with the highest mortality rate in female patients worldwide. The limited efficacy of immunotherapy as a breast cancer treatment has fueled the development of research on the tumor immune microenvironment. Methods: In this study, data on breast cancer patients were collected from The Cancer Genome Atlas Breast Invasive Carcinoma (TCGA-BRCA) and Molecular Taxonomy of Breast Cancer International Consortium (METABRIC) cohorts. Differential gene expression analysis, univariate Cox regression analysis, and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression analysis were performed to select overall survival (OS)-related, tumor tissue highly expressed, and immune- and inflammation-related genes. A tumor immune-inflammation signature (TIIS) consisting of 18 genes was finally screened out in the LASSO Cox regression model. Model performance was assessed by time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. In addition, the CIBERSORT algorithm and abundant expression of immune checkpoints were utilized to clarify the correlation between the risk signature and immune landscape in breast cancer. Furthermore, the association of IL27 with the immune signature was analyzed in pan-cancer and the effect of IL27 on the migration of breast cancer cells was investigated since the regression coefficient of IL27 was the highest. Results: A TIIS based on 18 genes was constructed Conclusion: The TIIS represents a promising prognostic tool for estimating OS in patients with breast cancer and is correlated with immune status.
