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

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) poses a major clinical challenge due to its aggressive progression and limited treatment options, making early diagnosis and prognosis critical. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are crucial post-transcriptional regulators that influence gene expression. In this study, we unveil novel miRNA-mRNA interactions and introduce a prognostic model based on miRNA-target interaction (MTI), integrating miRNA-mRNA regulatory correlation inference and the machine learning method to effectively predict the survival outcomes in TNBC cohorts. Using this method, we identified four key miRNAs (miR-181b-5p, miR-21-5p, miR-210-3p, miR-183-5p) targeting eight downstream target genes, forming a novel regulatory network of 19 validated miRNA-mRNA pairs. A prognostic model constructed based on the top 10 significant MTI pairs using random forest combination effectively classified patient survival outcomes in both TCGA and independent dataset GSE19783 cohorts, demonstrating good predictive accuracy and valuable prognostic insights for TNBC patients. Further analysis uncovered a complex network of 71 coherent feed-forward loops involving transcription factors, miRNAs, and target genes, shedding light on the mechanisms driving TNBC progression. This study underscores the importance of considering regulatory networks in cancer prognosis and provides a foundation for new therapeutic strategies aimed at improving TNBC treatment outcomes.
