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: Breast cancer (BC) is a highly common form of cancer that occurs in many parts of the world. However, early -stage BC is curable. Many patients with BC have poor prognostic outcomes owing to ineffective diagnostic and therapeutic tools. The ubiquitination system and associated proteins were found influencing the outcome of individuals with cancer. Therefore, developing a biomarker associated with ubiquitination genes to forecast BC patient outcomes is a feasible strategy. Objective: The primary goal of this work was to develop a novel risk score signature capable of accurately estimate the future outcome of patients with BC by targeting ubiquitinated genes. Methods: Univariate Cox regression analysis was conducted utilizing the E1, E2, and E3 ubiquitination-related genes in the GSE20685 dataset. Genes with p < 0.01 were screened again using the Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) algorithm, and the resulting hub genes were composed of a risk score signature. Patients were categorized into two risk groups, and the predictive effect was tested using Kaplan-Meier (KM) and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves. This risk score signature was later validated using multiple external datasets, namely TCGA-BRAC, GSE1456, GSE16446, GSE20711, GSE58812 and GSE96058. Immuno-microenvironmental, single-cell, and microbial analyses were also performed. Results: The selected gene signature comprising six ubiquitination-related genes ( Conclusion: This study established an risk score signature consisting of six ubiquitination genes, that can accurately forecast the outcome of patients with BC using multiple datasets. It can provide personalized and targeted assistance to provide the evaluation and therapy of individuals having BC.
