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: Oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) is a major energy resource occurring in mitochondria. Targeting OXPHOS-related genes has emerged as potential targets for cancer therapy. This study aimed to explore the significance of OXPHOS-related genes in breast cancer (BRCA). Methods: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to OXPHOS in BRCA were identified using packages of Limma and VennDiagram using the data from public databases. A prognostic model based on differentially expressed OXPHOS-related genes was constructed using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator Cox regression analyses and then evaluated through Kaplan-Meier and receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves. Additionally, gene set variate analysis (GSVA) and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) were performed to explore the potential pathways involved in BRCA. Furthermore, the tumor microenvironment (TME) difference between low- and high-risk BRCA groups was investigated. The prognostic significance of hub genes was then examined. We conducted a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network to uncover the potential gene interactions and identify key genes, whose expressions were validated in cells. Results: Our analyses revealed 234 differentially expressed OXPHOS-related genes, from which a nine-gene ( Conclusions: Our study provides insights into the prognostic biomarkers and molecular mechanisms in BRCA, offering potential therapeutic avenues and guiding personalized treatment strategies for improved patient outcomes.
