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

Emerging evidence revealed the significant roles of heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) in cancer initiation, development, and progression, but there is no pan-cancer analysis of HSF1. The present study first comprehensively investigated the expression profiles and prognostic significance of HSF1 and the relationship of HSF1 with clinicopathological parameters and immune cell infiltration using bioinformatic techniques. HSF1 is significantly upregulated in various common cancers, and it is associated with prognosis. Pan-cancer Cox regression analysis indicated that the high expression of HSF1 was associated with poor overall survival (OS), disease-specific survival (DSS), and progression-free interval (PFI) in cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma (CESC), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), and kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP) patients. The methylation of HSF1 DNA was decreased in most cancers and negatively correlated with the HSF1 expression. Increased phosphorylation of S303, S307, and S363 in HSF1 was observed in some cancers. HSF1 remarkably correlated with the levels of infiltrating cells and immune checkpoint genes. Our pan-cancer analysis provides a deep understanding of the functions of HSF1 in oncogenesis and metastasis in different cancers.
