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

backgroundThe interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinases (IRAK) family genes, indispensable mediators of interleukin-1 receptor (IL1R) and Toll-like receptor (TLR)-inflammatory signaling, may be involved in the biological function of human cancers due to the crucial roles of inflammation in tumor development. Though a little research has demonstrated the function of individual IRAK family members in specific tumors, comprehensive analysis is still lacking in pan-cancer.

methodsWe analyzed the mRNA expression landscape, mutation, and prognosis value of IRAK genes based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), cBioPortal, GlioVis, and Rembrandt databases. The correlation between the expression of IRAK genes and tumor microenvironment (TME), Stemness score, and immune subtypes was explored. Western blot, cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration assays, and xenograft models were utilized in this study.

resultsWe found that the expression of IRAK genes extensively changed and was related to patient survival in pan-cancer. Besides, IRAK family genes were correlated with TME, Stemness score, and immune subtypes in most cases. Given that high expression of all IRAK family members predicted poor prognosis in low-grade glioma (LGG), the oncogenic function of the highest expressed IRAK1 in LGG has been confirmed in vitro and in vivo. IRAK1 was uncovered to inhibit cell apoptosis and augment malignancy of LGG in vitro and in vivo.

conclusionThese findings revealed the potential targets of IRAK family genes in pan-cancer and provided insights for further investigation of IRAK1 as a novel oncogenic gene in LGG.
