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

objectiveEukaryotic elongation factor 1 gamma (EEF1G) has emerged as a potential prognostic marker in various malignancies. Yet, its association with breast cancer (BC) prognosis, particularly in the context of body mass index (BMI) status, remains unexplored. Therefore, we investigated the prognostic value and role of EEF1G in BC across different BMI categories.

methodsEEF1G expression was assessed through immunohistochemistry in tissue microarrays on 1011 patients with primary invasive BC. Prognostic effects were analyzed using the Cox proportional hazards regression. GSE78958 dataset downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database was used to validate our findings. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was performed using R packages, and protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks were generated using the STRING database and Cytoscape software.

resultsElevated EEF1G expression was associated with a better prognosis in patients with BMI ≤ 24 kg/m

conclusionsThis study showed EEF1G expression was inversely associated with BC prognosis in different BMI categories, indicating its potential as a prognostic marker and therapeutic target in BC. The differential effects underscore the need for personalized approaches in BC management and research.
