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

Lymphocyte cytosolic protein 2 (LCP2) is one of the SLP-76 family of adapters, which are critical intermediates in signal cascades downstream of several receptors. LCP2 regulates immunoreceptor signaling (such as T-cell receptors) and is also required for integrin signaling in neutrophils and platelets. However, the role of LCP2 in the tumor microenvironment is still unknown. In this study, we found a significant increase of mRNA and protein expression of LCP2 in metastatic skin cutaneous melanoma compared to normal skin. The upregulation of LCP2 was associated with good overall survival of patients with metastatic skin cutaneous melanoma, who received pharmacotherapy and radiation. GSEA signaling pathways analysis showed that LCP2 was involved in multiple pathways of immune response and correlation analysis revealed LCP2 was positively correlated with molecules in TCR signaling and 11 immune checkpoints, while LCP2 negatively correlated with 2 immune checkpoints in the metastatic skin cutaneous melanoma. According to the different expressions of LCP2, high LCP2 expression was positively correlated with more tumor-infiltrating CD8
