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

Breast cancer (BRCA) cells typically exist in nutrient-deficient microenvironments and quickly adapt to states with fluctuating nutrient levels. The tumor microenvironment of starvation is intensely related to metabolism and the malignant progression of BRCA. However, the potential molecular mechanism has not been thoroughly scrutinized. As a result, this study aimed to dissect the prognostic implications of mRNAs involved in the starvation response and construct a signature for forecasting the outcomes of BRCA. In this research, we investigated how starvation could affect BRCA cells' propensities for invasion and migration. The effects of autophagy and glucose metabolism mediated by starved stimulation were examined through transwell assays, western blot, and the detection of glucose concentration. A starvation response-related gene (SRRG) signature was ultimately generated by integrated analysis. The risk score was recognized as an independent risk indicator. The nomogram and calibration curves revealed that the model had excellent prediction accuracy. Functional enrichment analysis indicated this signature was significantly enriched in metabolic-related pathways and energy stress-related biological processes. Furthermore, phosphorylated protein expression of the model core gene EIF2AK3 increased after the stimulus of starvation, and EIF2AK3 may play an essential role in the progression of BRCA in the starved microenvironment. To sum up, we constructed and validated a novel SRRG signature that could accurately predict outcomes and may be developed as a therapeutic target for the precise treatment of BRCA.
