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: Breast cancer remains a predominant malignancy and a leading cause of oncologic mortality among women globally. The discovery of novel biomarkers is crucial for improving therapeutic outcomes. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive analysis of the immunological and prognostic significance of hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 1 (HAVCR1) in breast cancer using publicly available datasets. Results: HAVCR1 expression was markedly downregulated in breast cancer tissues. Significantly, lower expression levels of HAVCR1 in pre-treatment tumor samples were associated with poorer prognosis among pan-cancer patients undergoing immunotherapy, and a higher incidence of metastasis was observed in the breast cancer subgroup. Subtype-specific DEG analyses further indicated that distinct patterns of immune infiltration may underlie this association. Moreover, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) highlighted the immunological relevance of HAVCR1, particularly its involvement in T cell activation within the TNBC subtype. Clinically, elevated levels of HAVCR1 expression in pre-treatment T cells were indicative of a more favorable response to PD-1 blockade therapy compared to those with diminished expression. Conclusion: The expression of HAVCR1 exhibits a strong correlation with immune infiltration and holds potential as a prognostic biomarker for breast cancer, offering predictive insight into the efficacy of immunotherapeutic interventions.
