The association between the amino acid transporter LAT1, tumor immunometabolic and proliferative features and menopausal status in breast cancer.
Article in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
L-type Amino Acid Transporter 1 (LAT1) facilitates the uptake of specific essential amino acids, and due to this quality, it has been correlated to worse patient outcomes in various cancer types. However, the relationship between LAT1 and various clinical factors, including menopausal status, in mediating LAT1's prognostic effects remains incompletely understood. This is particularly true in the unique subset of tumors that are both obesity-associated and responsive to immunotherapy, including breast cancer. To close this gap, we employed 6 sets of transcriptomic data using the Kaplan-Meier model in the Xena Functional Genomics Explorer, demonstrating that higher LAT1 expression diminishes breast cancer patients' survival probability. Additionally, we analyzed 3'-Deoxy-3'-18F-Fluorothymidine positron emission tomography-computed tomography (18F-FLT PET-CT) images found on The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA). After separating all patients based on menopausal status, we correlated the measured 18F-FLT uptake with various clinical parameters quantifying body composition, tumor proliferation, and immune cell infiltration. By analyzing a wealth of deidentified, open-access data, the current study investigates the impact of LAT1 expression on breast cancer prognosis, along with the menopausal status-dependent associations between tumor proliferation, immunometabolism, and systemic metabolism.
