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

backgroundPapillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common type of thyroid cancer. However, due to the lack of reliable prognostic biomarkers for PTC, overtreatment has been on the rise. Therefore, our research aims to identify new and promising prognostic biomarkers and provide fresh perspectives for clinical decision making.

methodsThe RNA-seq data and clinical data of PTC samples were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas data portal. GSE64912 and GSE83520 datasets were downloaded through the GEOquery R package. The difference in the expression of oxoglutarate dehydrogenase like (OGDHL) between PTC and normal tissues was explored by the Wilcoxon test. Kaplan-Meier (KM) and Cox regression analyses were used to further explore the prognostic value of OGDHL. The tumor microenvironments of PTC patients were explored based on ssGSEA and Tumor Immune Estimation Resource online database. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was performed to explore the biological processes associated with OGDHL.

resultsThe expression level of OGDHL in PTC was significantly altered compared to that in normal tissues (p < 0.05). Various biological processes associated with OGDHL were also explored through GSEA. KM analysis suggested that the low-OGDHL group had a better overall survival [OS, p = 3.49e-03, hazard ratio (HR) = 4.567]. The receiver operating characteristic curve also indicated the favorable prognostic potential of OGDHL. Moreover, OGDHL was proved to be an independent prognostic indicator in Cox analysis (p = 1.33e-02, HR = 0.152). In the analysis of the tumor microenvironment, the low-OGDHL group showed a lower immune score and stromal score, while tumor purity was higher. The expression of OGDHL was also closely correlated with the infiltration of immune cells.

conclusionOur study elucidated the influence of OGDHL on the prognosis of PTC and demonstrated its potential as a novel biomarker, which would provide new insights into the prognosis monitoring and clinical decision making in PTC patients.
