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

Glucosamine‑phosphate N‑acetyltransferase 1 (GNPNAT1) is a member of the acetyltransferase superfamily, related to general control non‑depressible 5 (GCN5). It has been documented that GNPNAT1 expression is increased in lung cancer, whereas its involvement in breast cancer (BC) remains to be further investigated. The present study aimed to evaluate the expression levels of GNPNAT1 in BC and its effect on BC stem cells (BCSCs). The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database was used for the analysis of the expression of GNPNAT1 and its clinical significance. Cox regression and logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate prognosis‑related factors. The GNPNAT1‑binding protein network was constructed using the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins (STRING) application. The biological signaling pathways implicated in GNPNAT1 were investigated through function enrichment analysis including Gene Ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, and gene set enrichment analysis. The single‑sample GSEA method was used to investigate the connection between the level of immune infiltration and GNPNAT1 expression in BC. GNPNAT1 expression was upregulated in patients with BC and was significantly associated with a poor prognosis. GNPNAT1 and its co‑expressed genes were mostly enriched in nuclear transport, Golgi vesicle transport, ubiquitin‑like protein transferase activity and ribonucleoprotein complex binding, as determined using functional enrichment analysis. GNPNAT1 expression was positively associated with Th2 cells and T‑helper cells, and negatively associated with plasmacytoid dendritic cells, CD8
