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

The various cellular composition of the tumor microenvironment (TME) comprises the fundamental units of tumor tissue. The types of stromal cells in the TME are genetically stable, with reduced risk of tumor recurrence and drug resistance. More and more evidence shows their clinicopathological significance and therapeutic effect in predicting prognosis. Therefore, we performed an integrated analysis of the breast cancer TME, correlating it with genomic landscapes and clinical profiles. In this work, we first conducted unsupervised hierarchical clustering on 830 tumors in the breast cancer cohort. Then, we defined three TME phenotypes and applied principal component analysis to construct a TMEscore for quantifying TME. Analysis revealed that patients stratified into the high TMEscore cohort exhibited superior survival compared to the low-scoring group. Additionally, a high TMEscore is associated with an improved response to immunotherapy. Through TME gene signature analysis,
