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

purposeCyclin E1 (CCNE1), a critical regulator of cell cycle progression, has been implicated in various cancers; however, its prognostic significance and functional role across breast cancer (BC) subtypes remain inadequately defined. This study aims to comprehensively analyze CCNE1 mRNA expression and evaluate its potential as both a prognostic biomarker and a therapeutic guide.

methodsWe analyzed CCNE1 mRNA expression using large-scale BC cohorts (TCGA, METABRIC, GEO) and assessed associations with tumour grade, overall survival, and mutation status. The muTarget platform was employed to investigate associations between CCNE1 expression and key genetic alterations. Furthermore, gene set enrichment analysis was performed to identify enriched biological pathways, and functional studies were conducted using mTORC1 inhibition in TP53-mutant, RB1-deficient TNBC cells to evaluate cell viability and CCNE1 expression levels.

resultsCCNE1 expression was significantly associated with higher tumour grade, overall survival, and distinct mutation statuses. Gene set enrichment analysis revealed enrichment of proliferation-related pathways, including G2-M checkpoint, E2F targets, and mTORC1 signaling in CCNE1-high tumors. Moreover, functional studies showed that mTORC1 inhibition successfully reduced CCNE1 expression and impaired viability in TP53-mutant, RB1-deficient TNBC cells.

conclusionsCCNE1 overexpression characterises a clinically aggressive subset of breast cancers, particularly TNBC. Targeting mTORC1 may represent a promising therapeutic approach in CCNE1-high, TP53-mutated, and RB1-deficient tumours, supporting the clinical utility of CCNE1 in patient stratification and targeted therapy.
