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

Alternative splicing (AS) is a key mechanism involved in regulating gene expression and is closely related to tumorigenesis. The incidence of thyroid cancer (THCA) has increased during the past decade, and the role of AS in THCA is still unclear. Here, we used TCGA and to generate AS maps in patients with THCA. Univariate analysis revealed 825 AS events related to the survival of THCA. Five prognostic models of AA, AD, AT, ES, and ME events were obtained through lasso and multivariate analyses, and the final prediction model was established by integrating all the AS events in the five prediction models. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that the overall survival rate of patients in the high-risk group was significantly shorter than that of patients in the low-risk group. The ROC results revealed that the prognostic capabilities of each model at 3, 5, and 8 years were all greater than 0.7, and the final prognostic capabilities of the models were all greater than 0.9. By reviewing other databases and utilizing qPCR, we verified the established THCA gene model. In addition, gene set enrichment analysis showed that abnormal AS events might play key roles in tumor development and progression of THCA by participating in changes in molecular structure, homeostasis of the cell environment and in cell energy. Finally, a splicing correlation network was established to reveal the potential regulatory patterns between the predicted splicing factors and AS event candidates. In summary, AS should be considered an important prognostic indicator of THCA. Our results will help to elucidate the underlying mechanism of AS in the process of THCA tumorigenesis and broaden the prognostic and clinical application of molecular targeted therapy for THCA.
