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

backgroundDespite the widespread adoption of chemoimmunotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), the mechanisms by which cytotoxic chemotherapy engages antitumor immunity remain poorly defined. Identifying tumor-intrinsic immunogenic programs that predict and enhance responsiveness to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) is therefore of critical clinical importance.

methodsTranscriptomic signatures of

resultsAn in vivo TREX1-deficiency transcriptional signature, reflecting ssDNA-driven immune programs rather than

conclusionsThese findings establish cytosolic ssDNA-driven immune programs as a mechanistic link between DNA damage and antitumor immunity, providing both a predictive biomarker and a therapeutic axis for chemoimmunotherapy. Pharmacologic induction of ssDNA represents a rational strategy to enhance ICB efficacy and expand immunotherapy responsiveness in TNBC.
