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

backgroundHead and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC) is one of the most common cancer types in the world. The study in molecular markers for HNSC prognosis is of great significance. We hypothesized that Aminoacyl tRNA Synthetase Complex Interacting Multifunctional Protein 1 (AIMP1), a gene that encodes a cytokine, is a critical biomarker for HNSC.

methodsWe acquired clinical data, mRNA expression data, protein staining data, and single-cell expression data of HNSC from open databases and evaluated the clinical prognostic value of AIMP1, and explored the potential roles of AIMP1 in HNSC biology and tumor immune microenvironment.

resultsAIMP1 was overexpressed in HNSC compared to normal tissues. Higher AIMP1 expression was associated with a worse survival rate. A survival nomogram was constructed for HNSC patients. One thousand two hundred and eighty-one genes were identified as positively associated with AIMP1 and enriched in proliferation-related terminologies, while 303 genes were identified as negatively associated with AIMP1 and enriched in terminologies related to skin development and immune cell regulation. AIMP1 was positively correlated with stemness, cell cycle, and DNA repair, and negatively correlated with angiogenesis, quiescence, metastasis, hypoxia, inflammation, EMT, DNA damage, and invasion in single cells. AIMP1 was expressed higher in malignant cells than immune cells and there was no difference in AIMP1 expression among immune cell types. AIMP1 high group had a lower immune score, stroma score, and microenvironment score.

conclusionAIMP1 is a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for HNSC patients and can potentially affect the proliferation and tumor immune microenvironment of HNSC cells. This study provided a novel molecular marker for the improvement of clinical HNSC treatment.
