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

backgroundThe new S100 protein family member S100A16 is functionally expressed in various cancers. This study explored the prognostic value and potential role of S100A16 in pancreatic cancer (PC).

methodsRNA-seq and clinical data were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas-Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma (TCGA-PAAD) dataset to compare the expression level of S100A16 between groups. The genes co-expressed with S100A16 in TCGA-PAAD were analyzed using cBioPortal. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and genomes enrichment analyses were also performed on these genes. Pathways related to S100A16 expression dysregulation were explored using gene set enrichment analysis. The Tumor Immune Estimation Resource was used to analyze the correlation between S100A16 and infiltrating immune cells. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox analyses were used to assess the prognostic significance of S100A16 for PC.

resultsThe S100A16 expression level was high in PC and increased with the degree of malignancy. The S100A16 functions in PC were mainly enriched in the immune modules, but negatively correlated with the immune activity (T-cell, cytokine, immune, co-receptor, signaling adaptor, cell adhesion molecule, chemokine, and JAK/STAT signaling) and infiltration level (T cells and macrophages). The strongest negative correlation was observed between the expression of CD8

conclusionS100A16 is a potential independent prognostic marker and immunotherapy target for PC. Mechanistically, S100A16 potentially affects prognosis by extensive immunosuppression, including the inhibition of the anti-tumor immune response of CD8
