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

Recent cancer studies have found that the netrin family of proteins plays vital roles in the development of some cancers. However, the functions of the many variants of these proteins in cancer remain incompletely understood. In this work, we used the most comprehensive database available, including more than 10000 samples across more than 30 tumor types, to analyze the six members of the netrin family. We performed comprehensive analysis of genetic change and expression of the netrin genes and analyzed epigenetic and pathway relationships, as well as the correlation of expression of these proteins with drug sensitivity. Although the mutation rate of the netrin family is low in pan-cancer, among the tumor patients with netrin mutations, the highest number are Uterine Corpus Endometrial Carcinoma patients, accounting for 13.6% of cases (54 of 397). Interestingly, the highest mutation rate of a netrin family member is 38% for NTNG1 (152 of 397). Netrin proteins may participate in the development of endocrine-related tumors and sex hormone-targeting organ tumors. Additionally, the participation of NTNG1 and NTNG2 in various cancers shows their potential for use as new tumor markers and therapeutic targets. This analysis provides a broad molecular perspective of this protein family and suggests some new directions for the treatment of cancer.
