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

Cuproptosis, a newly suggested mechanism of controlled cellular demise, which has been extensively associated with aspects of occurrence and development in breast cancer. The aim of this study was to conduct a comprehensive multi-group bioinformatics analysis based on the expression of cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) to identify novel breast cancer subtypes to guide clinical practice. We collected TCGA-BRCA and GSE42568 datasets to investigate the expression patterns of CRGs in breast cancer. Consensus cluster analysis was performed to identify distinct subtypes. Subsequently, an investigation was carried out to examine the disparities between CRGclusters through functional enrichment analysis. Finally, we examined microsatellite instability, tumor mutation burden, drug sensitivity, infiltration of immune cells and cancer cell stemness across different CRGclusters. We identified two subtypes, where CRGcluster S2 exhibits a poorer prognosis compared to CRGcluster S1. Moreover, CRGcluster S2 demonstrated lower immune infiltration scores, higher cancer cell stemness index, and increased tumor mutation burden relative to CRGcluster S1, with the most frequently mutated gene being ATP7A. Notably, breast cancer chemotherapy drugs such as docetaxel, doxorubicin, and paclitaxel exhibited reduced sensitivity towards CRGcluster S2 when compared to CRGcluster S1. We have identified two CRGclusters in breast cancer that could serve as potential therapeutic targets and warrant further investigation in clinical trial studies for breast cancer.
