Prognostic Value of Dynactin mRNA Expression in Cutaneous Melanoma.
Article in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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.
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 Dynactin (DCTN) is a multi-subunit protein encoded by DCTN genes for 6 subunits. In different diseases the DCTN genes may have different roles; therefore, we investigated the prognostic potential of DCTN mRNA expression in cutaneous melanoma (CM). MATERIAL AND METHODS Data for DCTN mRNA expression in CM patients were obtained from the OncoLnc database, which contains updated gene expression data for 459 CM patients based on the Cancer Genome Atlas. Kaplan-Meier analysis and a Cox regression model were used to determine overall survival (OS) with calculation of hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS The multivariate survival analysis showed that individually low expression of DCTN1, DCTN2, and DCTN5 and high expression of DCTN6 were associated with favorable OS (adjusted P=0.008, HR=0.676, 95% CI=0.506-0.903; adjusted P=0.004, HR=0.648, 95% CI=0.485-0.867; adjusted P=0.011, HR=0.686, 95% CI=0.514-0.916; and adjusted P=0.018, HR=0.706, 95% CI=0.530-0.942, respectively). In a joint-effects analysis, combinations of low expression of DCTN1, DCTN2, and DCTN5 and high expression of DCTN6 were found to be more highly correlated with favorable OS (all P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that downregulated DCTN1, DCTN2, and DCTN5 and upregulated DCTN6 mRNA expression in CM are associated with favorable prognosis and may represent potential prognostic biomarkers. Moreover, use of the 4 genes in combination can improve the sensitivity for predicting OS in CM patients.
