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

backgroundT cell dysfunction in the tumor microenvironment (TME) is a major obstacle to effective immunotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The molecular mechanisms underlying T cell exclusion remain poorly understood. PURPOSE: This study identifies RANBP1 as an oncogenic factor in TNBC and investigates its role in modulating T cell infiltration and tumor progression.

methodsSingle-cell and bulk RNA sequencing were used to assess immune cell infiltration associated with RANBP1 expression. RANBP1 protein levels were evaluated in 87 TNBC tumor and adjacent normal tissues by immunohistochemistry. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to assess overall survival. In vitro and in vivo assays were performed to explore the RANBP1/miR-769-5p/PRUNE2 pathway.

resultsscRNA-seq identified 10 cell types in the TNBC TME. High RANBP1 expression correlated with increased tumor cells, B cells, macrophages, and epithelial cells, and reduced T cells. Cell-cell communication was enhanced in the high-RANBP1 group. TCGA and GSE65194 data confirmed decreased CD4⁺ T cells and Tregs in high-RANBP1 tumors. RANBP1 was significantly upregulated in TNBC and associated with poor prognosis. Functional studies showed that RANBP1 promotes TNBC cell proliferation and migration. Mechanistically, RANBP1 upregulates oncogenic miR-769-5p, which suppresses PRUNE2, a tumor suppressor that normally inhibits TNBC progression.

conclusionsRANBP1 shapes an immunosuppressive microenvironment in TNBC by reducing T cell infiltration through the miR-769-5p/PRUNE2 axis. These findings reveal a novel immune escape mechanism and suggest that targeting RANBP1 may enhance immunotherapy efficacy in TNBC.
