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

Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with drug resistance remaining a major therapeutic challenge. We integrated multi-omics data-including GWAS, eQTL, and pQTL-with Mendelian randomization to identify genes associated with breast cancer risk and therapy response. Our analyses revealed CTSF and GSTM3 as key candidates, showing consistent associations at both RNA and protein levels. Functional studies indicated that CTSF expression correlates with taxane resistance but cyclophosphamide sensitivity, while GSTM3 influences response across multiple regimens. Enrichment analyses suggest roles in immune and hormone signaling pathways. These findings highlight CTSF and GSTM3 as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for overcoming chemoresistance in breast cancer.
