Pan-Cancer Analysis of IGF-1 and IGF-1R as Potential Prognostic Biomarkers and Immunotherapy Targets.

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.
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
aimInsulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) is one of the main members of the tyrosine protein kinase receptor family. This receptor binds insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) with a high affinity. IGF-1 is a member of a family of proteins involved in mediating growth and development. However, the correlations of IGF-1 and IGF-1R to prognosis and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in different cancers remain unclear.
methodThis research comprehensively analyzed the expression pattern of IGF-1 and IGF-1R and the influence of IGF-1 and IGF-1R on clinical significance in prognosis prediction among 33 types of malignancies using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) databases. The correlation between IGF-1, IGF-1R, and cancer immunity was explored.
resultsIGF-1 and IGF-1R displayed inconsistent gene expression levels among diverse cancer cell lines. Typically, high expression level of IGF-1 and IGF-1R was detected in most malignant tumors. High expression of IGF-1 was closely bound up with the unfavorable overall survival (OS) for patients in BLCA, CHOL, and LAML upon Cox and Kaplan-Meier analyses. While high expression of IGF-1R was closely bound up with the unfavorable overall survival (OS) for patients in BLCA, LIHC, and LUAD. Furthermore, high expression level of IGF-1 and IGF-1R were closely connected with high degrees of tumor infiltrates, including CD4+ T cell, dendritic cells, and macrophages. In addition, we found that IGF-1 was commonly positively correlated with the expression of gene markers including LAIR1, ICOS, CD40LG, CTLA4, CD48, CD28, CD200R1, HAVCR2, and CD86. Whereas, IGF-1R was commonly positively correlated with the expression of gene markers including NRP1 and CD276. More importantly, IGF-1 and IGF-1R expression were correlated with tumor mutation burden (TMB), microsatellite instability (MSI), mismatch repair (MMR), and DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) of different types of cancers.
conclusionsThe impact of high IGF-1 and IGF-1R on prognosis and immune infiltrates differs across cancer types. Anti-IGF-1R therapy may inhibit tumor growth and contribute to immunotherapy in LIHC and KIRC.
