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

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has an aggressive nature, a specific set of molecular characteristics, distinct patterns of metastasis, and a lack of targeted treatment. Many types of cancer have Notch pathway dysregulation, which leads to tumor initiation, spreading, and increased therapeutic resistance. In breast cancer, the overexpression of NOTCH1 and NOTCH4 in tumors suggests their role as oncogenes. The Notch signaling pathway is highly active in breast cancer tissues and thus can be considered a possible target. This project is aimed at developing a protein-based vaccine that targets NOTCH1 and NOTCH4 antigens associated with TNBC, using bioinformatic and in silico tools for increased precision, immunogenic potency, and faster therapeutic intervention development. The designed vaccine demonstrated coverage for 99.27%, indicating its potential effectiveness across diverse populations. Epitope-MHC docking simulations demonstrated strong binding affinities, with docking scores ranging from -135.96 to -285.59, suggesting effective immune system activation. The immune modeling analysis suggested that the vaccine can induce a consistent and accurate immune response alongside an increase in immunoglobulins, B cells, memory T cells, and cytotoxic T cells. Physicochemical evaluations confirmed the vaccine's stability, with an instability index of 39.70, indicating its robustness under physiological conditions. Furthermore, structural modeling of the vaccine indicated high stability and reliability under physiological conditions. Molecular docking demonstrated strong binding affinities with MHC I, MHC II, TLR4, and TLR7 molecules, with the highest docking score of -317.05 for TLR7 and the most favorable
