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: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous disease that is characterized by metabolic disruption. Metabolic reprogramming and tumor cell immune escape play indispensable roles in the tumorigenesis that leads to TNBC. Methods: In this study, we constructed and validated two prognostic glutamine metabolic gene models, Clusters A and B, to better discriminate between groups of TNBC patients based on risk. Compared with the risk Cluster A patients, the Cluster B patients tended to exhibit better survival outcomes and higher immune cell infiltration. In addition, we established a scoring system, the glutamine metabolism score (GMS), to assess the pattern of glutamine metabolic modification. Results: We found that solute carrier family 7 member 5 (SLC7A5), an amino acid transporter, was the most important gene and plays a vital role in glutamine metabolism reprogramming in TNBC cells. Knocking down SLC7A5 significantly inhibited human and mouse TNBC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. In addition, downregulation of SLC7A5 increased CD8 Conclusions: Hence, our results highlight the molecular mechanisms underlying SLC7A5 effects and lead to a better understanding of the potential benefit of targeting glutamine metabolism in combination with immunotherapy as a new therapy for TNBC.
