Article in Biomedical reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER1) plays a crucial role in the progression of breast cancer and has emerged as a promising therapeutic target. However, while missense mutations in GPER1 have been detected in breast invasive carcinoma (BIC) samples, the resulting molecular, cellular and pharmacological changes remain unclear. The present study categorized BIC samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas database based on mutation information available in the cBioPortal database. Subsequently, survival analysis was conducted and the samples screened for differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Using these DEGs, the present study performed Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses, protein-protein interaction network analysis and hub gene selection. After assessing the prognostic value of hub genes, the immune cell infiltration between mutant and wild-type (WT) groups was analyzed. Finally, a luciferase reporter system was used to assess the cyclic AMP (cAMP) production mediated by GPER1 following treatment with the agonist G-1 for each mutation. The results revealed a significant decrease in progression-free survival and disease-specific survival in the GPER1 mutant group compared with the WT group. Gene expression analysis identified 60 DEGs, all of which were upregulated and significantly enriched in GO terms related to tumor progression, such as organic anion transport, glycosaminoglycan binding and monoatomic ion-gated channel activity. DEGs were also significantly enriched in the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway in KEGG. Hub gene selection and prognostic evaluation identified three genes significantly associated with survival: IL33, STAB2 and CFTR. Immune cell infiltration analysis revealed a significant decrease in CD8 T cell content in the GPER1 mutant group compared with the WT group. Luciferase reporter assays demonstrated that four missense mutations in GPER1 (L129M, E218Q, S235F and A345G) significantly attenuated the induction of cyclic adenosine monophosphate production mediated by its agonist. These findings provided valuable insights for the design of breast cancer drugs targeting GPER1 and for precision medicine initiatives.
