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

backgroundBreast cancer is a highly prevalent tumor worldwide. Mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT)-driven necrosis is a novel type of cell death induced by mitochondrial membrane disruption. The roles of MPT-driven necrosis in breast cancer remain unclear.

methodsGene expression and clinicopathologic features were extracted from The Cancer Genome Atlas and Gene Expression Omnibus. We performed a genome landscape analysis of MPT-driven necrosis (MPTdn)-related genes, and a consensus clustering analysis was conducted to construct MPTdn clusters. Next, a risk model was established based on the differentially expressed genes related to MPTdn. We grouped and used external data sets to verify the stability of the model. Subsequently, immune correlation analysis, clinical correlation assessment and drug sensitivity analysis were conducted. Finally, candidate genes were validated in the protein and mRNA levels.

resultsA total of 39 MPTdn-related genes were identified in our analysis. Most MPTdn-related genes had different expression levels and somatic mutations in breast cancer, and a close interaction was noted among them. A risk model composed of BCL2A1, SCUBE2, NPY1R and CLIC6 was constructed. The low-risk group had better overall survival and higher immune infiltration levels. All three external data sets achieved excellent predictive efficacy. Finally, the immunohistochemistry results indicated that BCL2A1, SCUBE2, NPY1R and CLIC6 were expressed at significantly lower levels in breast cancer tissues, and the transcriptome sequencing results revealed that BCL2A1 and SCUBE2 mRNA expression levels were greater in the nonrecurrence group.

conclusionsWe developed a risk model with excellent predictive efficacy based on MPTdn and revealed that BCL2A1, SCUBE2, NPY1R and CLIC6 could be used as the biomarkers, laying a solid foundation for investigations of therapeutic targets of breast cancer.
