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

Purpose: Cell division cycle protein 45 (CDC45) plays a crucial role in DNA replication. This study investigates its role in breast cancer (BC) and its impact on tumor progression. Methods: We utilized the GEO database to screen differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and conducted enrichment analysis on these genes. We established a Nomogram model based on CDC45 and other clinical indicators. Additionally, we performed protein-protein interaction (PPI) network construction, drug sensitivity analysis, and immune correlation analysis of CDC45. The function of CDC45 was further verified through cell and animal experiments. Results: CDC45 is highly expressed in most tumors, including BC. The expression level of CDC45 was significantly associated with age, sex, race, cancer stage, and molecular subtypes (all p < 0.05). CDC45 was incorporated into a Nomogram model, which showed moderate accuracy in predicting patient prognosis. We also analyzed the co-expression genes of CDC45, including TOPBP1, GINS2, MCM5, GINS1, GINS4, POLE2, MCM2, MCM6, MCM4, and MCM7. Furthermore, CDC45 expression was closely linked to immune infiltration levels, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and the therapeutic response to small molecule drugs. Finally, both in vitro and in vivo experiments confirmed the cancer-promoting effect of CDC45 in BC. Conclusion: The expression level of CDC45 is linked to the prognosis, immune infiltration, and drug sensitivity of BC. In vitro and in vivo experiments have confirmed that CDC45 acts as a cancer-promoting protein in breast cancer.
