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: Tumor heterogeneity impacts invasive behaviors, treatment response, and clinical outcomes in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, this heterogeneity remains incompletely characterized. This study aims to utilize multi-scale data to investigate inter-tumoral heterogeneity and identify potential TNBC biomarkers. Methods: Single-cell RNA expression profiles were analyzed using R packages. Specifically, the infercnv, Pyscenic, GeneNMF, SCP, Vector, CellChat, and hdWGCNA packages were employed to identify malignant cells and characterize heterogeneity in transcription factors, metaprograms, lineage evolution, developmental trajectories, cell-cell interactions, and co-expression networks. Bulk RNA datasets were incorporated to assess the prognostic value of cell clusters and candidate genes. G Protein Subunit Alpha 15 ( Results: A total of 14,335 malignant cells were isolated from epithelial cells across 15 single-cell RNA samples. Six tumor cell clusters were identified, which exhibited distinct prognoses, biological functions, driver transcription factors, and co-expression networks. Notably, the S2 cluster demonstrated association with multiple malignancy-related pathways and inferior survival outcomes. Conclusions: Our study comprehensively delineated TNBC tumor cell heterogeneity and established the critical role of
