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

Thyroid Carcinoma (THCA) is the most common endocrine tumor that is mainly treated using surgery and radiotherapy. In addition, immunotherapy is a recently developed treatment option that has played an essential role in the management of several types of tumors. However, few reports exist on the use of immunotherapy to treat THCA. The study downloaded the miRNA, mRNA and lncRNA data for THCA patients from the TCGA database ( https://portal.gdc.cancer.gov/ ). Thereafter, the tumor samples were divided into cold and hot tumors, based on the immune score of the tumor microenvironment. Moreover, the differentially expressed lncRNAs and miRNAs were obtained. Finally, the study jointly constructed a ceRNA network through differential analysis of the mRNA data for cold and hot tumors. The study first assessed the level of immune infiltration in the THCA tumor microenvironment then divided the samples into cold and hot tumors, based on the immune score. Additionally, a total of 568 up-regulated and 412 down-regulated DEGs were screened by analyzing the differences between hot and cold tumors. Thereafter, the study examined the differentially expressed genes for lncRNA and miRNA. The results revealed 629 differentially expressed genes related to lncRNA and 114 associated with miRNA. Finally, a ceRNA network of the differentially expressed genes was constructed. The results showed a five-miRNA hubnet, i.e., hsa-mir-204, hsa-mir-128, hsa-mir-214, hsa-mir-150 and hsa-mir-338. The present study identified the immune-related mRNA, lncRNA and miRNA in THCA then constructed a ceRNA network. These results are therefore important as they provide more insights on the immune mechanisms in THCA. The findings also provides additional information for possible THCA immunotherapy.
