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

backgroundCholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a malignant tumor of the digestive system, with occult onset in the early stage, a high degree of malignancy in the late stage, and poor prognosis. At present, the pathogenesis of CCA is not clear, and there is a lack of effective immunotherapy. The purpose of this study was to identify the potential regulatory mechanism of CCA and analyze the possibility of its related immunotherapy.

methodsThe circular RNAs (circRNAs) expression profile data of CCA was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database; the miRNA and mRNA expression profile data of CCA were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Prognostic factors were screened by univariate Cox regression analysis, and the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network was constructed via survival analysis. Multivariate Cox analysis was used to screen the independent prognostic factors and construct a prognostic correlation subnetwork. Analyzing the tumor microenvironment of CCA and survival analysis were performed according to the score of the microenvironment, and the distribution of tumor infiltrating immune cells (TICs) in CCA was calculated using the CIBERSORT algorithm. We explored the expression pattern of the target genes in pan-cancer, and the correlation between the key genes in the ceRNA subnetwork, TICs and immune checkpoints was analyzed using an online database. Finally, the expression levels of target genes were validated based on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) databases.

resultsWe screened four circRNAs, 10 miRNAs, and 17 mRNAs with significant differences, and constructed the ceRNA network. Independent prognostic factors were screened by multivariate Cox regression analysis, and a subnetwork containing five nodes (hsa_circ_0002073→hsa-mir-4524a-3p→

conclusionsOur study identified a novel prognostic marker of CCA,
