The deubiquitinating enzymes-related signature predicts the prognosis and immunotherapy response in breast cancer.
Article in Aging, 2024. 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
backgroundBreast cancer is a prevalent disease that has a dismal prognosis for patients and a bad outlook for treatments. Ubiquitination is a reversible biological process that regulates protein production and degradation, as well as plays a vital role in protein transport, localization, and biological activity.
methodsWe obtained the breast cancer patient sample data and used a machine learning technique to create a novel index called Deubiquitinating enzyme related index (DUBRI) by gathering genes associated to deubiquitinating enzymes. Based on DUBRI, we systematically analyze patients' prognosis, clinical characteristics, tumor immune microenvironment, chemotherapy response and immunotherapy response. Finally, the function of OTUB2 was explored in breast cancer cells.
resultsDUBRI, which consists of five deubiquitinating enzyme genes (OTUB2, USP41, MINDY2, YOD1, and PSMD7), is a reliable predictor of survival in breast cancer patients. We found that the high DUBRI group presented higher levels of immune cell infiltration. We performed molecular docking prediction of core target proteins in deubiquitinating enzymes.
conclusionsThe DUBRI discovered in this research may effectively evaluate the outlook of breast cancer patients and identify groups of patients who would gain advantages from immunotherapy, offering vital knowledge for the future targeted treatment of breast cancer patients.
