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: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype with a poor prognosis. Although circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been implicated in cancer progression, their roles in TNBC remain poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to develop a prognostic model for TNBC by constructing a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network. This network integrates circRNAs, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) to identify potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for improving clinical outcomes. Methods: Differentially expressed circRNAs, lncRNAs, and mRNAs were identified from GEO datasets (144 samples: 94 TNBC and 50 normal tissues). A ceRNA network was constructed, and key genes were validated using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset (115 TNBC and 113 para-cancer tissues). Multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to develop a prognostic model, and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was performed to identify associated pathways. Results: Nine genes ( Conclusion: This study developed a novel prognostic model based on a ceRNA network analysis, highlighting the critical role of circRNAs and the MAPK signaling pathway in TNBC progression. These findings offer valuable insights into potential biomarkers for TNBC prognosis and reveal promising therapeutic targets for improving patient outcomes.
