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

backgroundCyclin E1 overexpression drives oncogenesis in several cancers through deregulation of DNA replication and induction of genomic instability, which may potentially trigger immune signaling via cytoplasmic DNA. However, the effects of cyclin E1 overexpression on tumor immunity and its effects on the response to immune checkpoint inhibitors remain largely unclear.

methodsTissue microarrays and clinical outcomes of 398 patients with breast cancer were analyzed to explore the correlation between cyclin E1 expression, patient survival, and immune cell infiltration using immunohistochemistry. Genomic data from publicly available data sets and three clinical trials evaluating immunotherapy were assessed to measure the impact of cyclin E1 expression on the immune cells in the tumor microenvironment and response to immunotherapy in patients with breast cancer. In addition, breast cancer cell lines with inducible cyclin E1 overexpression were employed to analyze the effects of cyclin E1 on inflammatory signaling.

resultsIncreased cyclin E1 expression in breast cancer was positively correlated with immune cell infiltration, including T cells, B cells, and natural killer cells, and activation of interferon-related pathways. Importantly, higher cyclin E1 expression or

conclusionsOur data show that cyclin E1 overexpression associate with antitumor immunity through activation of innate inflammatory signaling and warrants investigation into amplification or overexpression of cyclin E1 in identifying patients with breast cancer eligible for immunotherapy.
