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: Tumor cell heterogeneity is a fundamental driver of breast cancer aggressiveness, underlying recurrence, metastasis, and therapy resistance. Understanding the biological characteristics and functions of specific tumor cell clusters in the tumor microenvironment is crucial for advancing precision oncology. Methods: We delineated breast cancer tumor cell heterogeneity by integrating single-cell transcriptomics, spatial transcriptomics, bulk transcriptomics, genomic and radiomic data. The oncogenic functions of the candidate gene Results: We discovered a poor-prognosis tumor cell cluster (C1 cluster). C1 cluster exhibited a late evolutionary state, metabolic reprogramming (OXPHOS/glycolysis), and active crosstalk with cancer-associated fibroblasts and endothelial cells. High abundance of C1 cluster was associated with poor survival, specific somatic mutations, and predicted superior response to immune checkpoint blockade, but not to chemo/radiotherapy. The radiomic model based on MRI images was exploratively established for estimating the abundance of C1, and the prognostic model based on C1-derived genetic features significantly stratified the survival risk of breast cancer in multiple cohorts. Conclusions: This study revealed C1 cluster as a key driver of breast cancer progression and its application for predicting immunotherapy response. Additionally,
