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

backgroundTriple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive and heterogenous breast cancer subtype. Polyamines are essential for TNBC growth and proliferation; however, therapeutic strategies targeting polyamine metabolism have shown limited efficacy in TNBC. In this study, we demonstrate a biomarker-driven approach to treating TNBC through polyamine depletion. As the rate limiting catabolic enzyme in the polyamine pathway, spermidine/spermine N

methodsTNBC cell lines, ex vivo tumor slices, and in vivo patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models with low, moderate and high baseline levels of SAT1 were used to determine whether the efficacy of polyamine depletion therapy depends on their SAT1 metabolic phenotype.

resultsTNBC with high baseline SAT1 expression was sensitive to the SAT1 agonist N

conclusionsIn conclusion, these findings suggest that an SAT1-defined metabolic phenotype may enable a precision-guided strategy to effectively target polyamine depletion as a TNBC treatment and that treatment effectiveness may be monitored through evaluation of urine diacetylspermine as a non-invasive biomarker of treatment response.
