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

Interferon-induced protein 44 (IFI44) containing a guanosine-5'-triphosphate (GTP) binding domain was reported to play a significant role in the immune response to autoimmune disease. However, its roles involved in cancers remain unclear. Here, we detected the expression of IFI44 in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Pan-cancer and generally explored the effect of IFI44 on immune infiltration in the tumor microenvironment (TME). The results displayed that IFI44 was mainly located in the cytoplasm and overexpressed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC) samples compared with normal tissues. Survival analysis exhibited that IFI44 was remarkably associated with the clinical outcomes, particularly in lymph node-positive and locally advanced HNSC patients. Biological analysis showed that IFI44 was correlated with such immune biological processes as antigen-presenting and nuclear factor (NF)-kappa B signaling pathways. Immune signature analysis demonstrated that the expression of IFI44 was positively correlated with the infiltration of CD4
