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) continues to exhibit a poor response to both immunotherapy and endocrine therapy, primarily due to its complex genetic heterogeneity and tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are involved in neutrophil development and degranulation in treatment-resistant tumors, particularly TNBC and metastatic cases. Using a combination of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets, bulk mRNA sequencing data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort, microarray data from the METABRIC and GEO databases, and epigenetic sequencing resources, we comprehensively investigated the functional characteristics and prognostic potential of NET-positive tumor-associated neutrophils (NET+ TAN) in TNBC. A six-gene panel derived from NET+ TAN has been identified as a reliable diagnostic biomarker for the survival of patients with TNBC and has been validated across several independent cohorts. Notably, our findings indicate that NET+ TAN facilitate T cell reprogramming in TNBC, thereby establishing a suppressive TIME and promoting tumor progression. This study provides a comprehensive perspective on the significance of NETs in patients with TNBC, with the aim of offering genetic and epigenetic insights into the mechanisms by which NETs may transition from cold to hot tumor phenotype, as well as valuable recommendations for therapeutic strategies.
