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

In breast cancer, the behavior of genes linked to the immune system and their interaction with the tumor's microenvironment suggest new paths for tailored therapies. Utilizing the TCGA-BRCA cohort, we established a robust overall survival prediction model through LASSO regression and Gaussian mixture model based on risk group. We found that low-risk patients responded better to chemotherapy. Single-cell analysis further confirmed expression patterns of signature genes in both healthy and malignant breast samples. Our study, the first to use immunohistochemistry (IHC) to assess EPHB6 expression in benign and malignant breast samples, revealed higher EPHB6 levels in benign tissue and triple-negative cancer. In axillary lymph nodes, EPHB6 was predominantly expressed in stroma cells, with diminished expression in cancerous cells upon infiltration. These insights highlight the significance of immune-related genes in breast cancer.
