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

objectiveAnkyrin repeat domain-containing protein 6 (ANKRD6) is an ankyrin repeat-containing protein which is structurally related to vertebrate inversin and Drosophila Diego. However, the correlations between ANKRD6 and tumor-infiltrating immune cells in cancers is not clear.

methodsANKRD6 expression was analyzed by Oncomine, Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER) and Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA). PrognoScan and GEPIA were used to evaluate the influence of ANKRD6 on clinical prognosis. TIMER and CIBERSORT were used to analyze correlations between ANKRD6 expression levels and tumor immune cell infiltrates. Immunohistochemical analysis of the relationship between ANKRD6 expression and overall survival, as well as the relationship between ANKRD6 expression and M2 macrophage infiltration, was performed.

resultsHigh level of ANKRD6 expression was associated with poor prognosis of colon cancer. ANKRD6 expression level was positively correlated with infiltrating levels of CD8+ T cells, CD4+ T cells, macrophages, neutrophils and dendritic cells in colon cancer by using TIMER. Using CIBERSORT, we found that in plasma cells, CD8+ T cells, CD4+ memory resting T cells, follicular helper T cells and activated natural killer cells were significantly lower in the ANKRD6-high group than in the ANKRD6-low group. M0 and M2 macrophages were significantly higher in the ANKRD6-high group than in the ANKRD6-low group. Immunohistochemistry confirmed that M2 macrophage infiltration in the ANKRD6-high group significantly increased.

conclusionsThe high ANKRD6 expression is associated with poor prognosis of colon cancer. ANKRD6 expression is positively correlated with M2 macrophage infiltration in colon cancer.
