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) accounts for approximately 15% of all Breast Cancer (BC) cases with poorer prognosis and clinical outcomes compared to other BC subtypes due to greater tumor heterogeneity and few therapeutically targetable oncogenic drivers. To reveal actionable pathways for anti-cancer treatment, we use a proteomic approach to quantitatively compare the abundances of 6306 proteins across 55 formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) TNBC tumors. We identified four major TNBC clusters by unsupervised clustering analysis of protein abundances. Analyses of clinicopathological characteristics revealed associations between the proteomic profiles and clinical phenotypes exhibited by each subtype. We validate the findings by inferring immune and stromal cell type composition from genome-wide DNA methylation profiles. Finally, quantitative proteomics on TNBC cell lines was conducted to identify in vitro models for each subtype. Collectively, our data provide subtype-specific insights into molecular drivers, clinicopathological phenotypes, tumor microenvironment (TME) compositions, and potential pharmacologic vulnerabilities for further investigations.
