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

backgroundPapillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is a malignant tumor of the endocrine system, and distant metastasis leads to poor prognosis for patients with PTC. The competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network and tumor-infiltrating immune cells might participate in tumor prognosis and distant metastasis. However, few studies have focused on ceRNAs and immune cells in PTC.

methodsWe identified differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs) using the GEO2R tool of the GEO database. Through comprehensive analysis, we selected lncRNA PROSER2-AS1 and constructed a PROSER2-AS1-mediated ceRNA network. Survival was analyzed with a Kaplan-Meier (KM) curve. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed to determine the function of PROSER2-AS1 in the ceRNA network using TCGA database. Moreover, the relationship between PROSER2-AS1 and immune cell infiltration was analyzed with ssGSEA using the "GSVA" package in R.

resultsComprehensive analysis of the GSE66783 dataset revealed 105 significantly differentially expressed lncRNAs. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to assess the prognostic significance of the DELs, and we identified lncRNA PROSER2-AS1 as an independent factor for prognosis in PTC (p < 0.05). Considering the online tools LncRNASNP2 and miRWalk3.0, we constructed a PROSER2-AS1-related ceRNA network. Furthermore, the GSEA results suggested that PROSER2-AS1 may be involved in immune cell infiltration and that PROSER2-AS1 was correlated with 14 types of tumor-infiltrating immune cells. PROSER2-AS1 might function through TGFBR3.

conclusionlncRNA PROSER2-AS1 and related mRNAs (TGFBR3) may be potential prognostic biomarkers in PTC and may correlate with immune infiltrates.
