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

backgroundC-X-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 13 (CXCL13) plays a crucial part in the pathogenesis of numerous lymphoproliferative disorders, inflammatory responses, and autoimmune diseases. CXCL13 also influence tumor development and prognosis, and be a potential target for cancer treatment. However, CXCL13 expression-based panoramic picture in pan-cancer remain unclear. This study focused on elucidating different expression levels, prognostic significance, immune-related characteristics, epigenetic variations, and immunotherapeutic value of CXCL13.

methodsBased on different databases such as TCGA, GTEX, CCLE and HPA, we studied the expression of CXCL13 in different tissues at different levels. Moreover, we analyzed the correlation between CXCL13 expression and clinicopathological characteristics, prognosis, Mismatch Repair Genes (MMRs), Microsatellite Instability (MSI), tumor mutation burden (TMB), immune cells infiltration, immune-related genes, and the role in tumor immunotherapy. And the expression of CXCL13 in digestive tract cancers and the correlation between CXCL13 and immune genes were further analyzed by histological verification.

resultsCXCL13 was highly expressed in various tumor tissues and was also closely related to prognosis. CXCL13 expression levels were closely related to MSI, TMB and immune cells infiltration, including CD8+ T cells, macrophages, follicular helper T cells and B cells. CXCL13 expression levels were related to immune checkpoint genes and the efficacy of immunotherapy.

conclusionCXCL13 might be a useful biomarker for determining the diagnosis and prognosis of human cancers but also a biomarker for evaluating the efficacy of immunotherapy.
