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) is an aggressive breast cancer subtype with limited therapeutic options. Here, we investigated how integrin-dependent signaling pathways regulate tumor metabolism and therapeutic vulnerability in TNBC. Pharmacological inhibition of the integrin/FAK axis and/or BRD4 induced cell cycle arrest, autophagy, and senescence in highly proliferative cells, consistent with a metabolic stress phenotype. Metabolomic analyses using [U-¹³C]-glucose revealed a marked suppression of glycolytic carbon flux, accompanied by an approximately 30-47% reduction in intracellular NAD⁺ levels and coordinated alterations in NADH and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediate α-ketoglutarate. Mechanistically, we identified nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), the rate-limiting enzyme in NAD⁺ biosynthesis, as a central metabolic node integrating signaling/function of the two axes. NAMPT expression/activity was sustained transcriptionally or post-translationally, including sirtuin-associated deacetylation and neddylation-dependent proteasomal turnover. In BRCA1/2-deficient TNBC, integrin-FAK and NAMPT/NAD
