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

TUBA1C, a microtubule component, contributes to the development of several cancers. Our purpose was to study the expression of TUBA1C, its potential prognostic value, and its effects on the infiltration of immune cells of low-grade glioma (LGG). Through applying multiple bioinformatics analyses, we extracted and analyzed datasets from TCGA, TIMER, GTEx, GEPIA, and HPA to investigate the potential oncogenic mechanisms of TUBA1C, including the correlation between TUBA1C and prognosis, immune-checkpoints, tumor microenvironment (TME), and infiltration of immune cells in LGG. GO functional annotations and KEGG pathway analyses were further applied to investigate the potential action of TUBA1C in LGG. We revealed that the mRNA levels of TUBA1C were increased in LGG tumor tissues than in normal tissues. Additionally, TUBA1C was up-regulated in the grade III of LGG than in grade II. Moreover, we found that TUBA1C may be an independent prognostic factor of LGG, and high TUBA1C expression correlated to a poor prognosis of LGG. TUBA1C expression was positively associated with the infiltration of B cells, CD8 T+ cells, CD4
