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 of breast cancer (BRCA) with limited therapeutic targets. This study aimed to identify T cell-related signatures for TNBC diagnosis and prognosis. Methods: Clinical data and transcriptomic profiles were obtained from the TCGA-BRCA dataset, and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data were downloaded from the GEO database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between TNBC and other BRCA subtypes were intersected with T cell-related genes to identify candidate biomarkers. Machine learning algorithms were used to screen for key hub genes, which were then used to construct a logistic regression (LR) model. Immune cell infiltration patterns were analyzed between high- and low-LR score groups, and Kaplan-Meier analysis evaluated the prognostic significance of hub genes. Functional enrichment and pathway analysis were performed using GSEA, and scRNA-seq data further explored hub gene-related pathways in immune cells. Results: Three hub genes ( Conclusion:
