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

Background: The expression of Coiled-Coil Domain Containing 134(CCDC134) is up-regulated in different pan-cancer species. However, its prognostic value and correlation with immune infiltration in breast cancer are unclear. Therefore, we evaluated the prognostic role of CCDC134 in breast cancer and its correlation with immune invasion. Methods: We downloaded the transcription profile of CCDC134 between breast cancer and normal tissues from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). CCDC134 protein expression was assessed by the Clinical Proteomic Cancer Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) and the Human Protein Atlas. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was also used for pathway analysis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to differentiate breast cancer from adjacent normal tissues. Kaplan-Meier method was used to evaluate the effect of CCDC134 on survival rate. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network is built from STRING. Function expansion analysis is performed using the ClusterProfiler package. Through tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER) and tumor Immune System Interaction database (TISIDB) to determine the relationship between CCDC134 expression level and immune infiltration. CTD database is used to predict drugs that inhibit CCDC134 and PubChem database is used to determine the molecular structure of identified drugs. Results: The expression of CCDC134 in breast cancer tissues was significantly higher than that of CCDC134 mRNA expression in adjacent normal tissues. ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC value of CCDC134 was 0.663. Kaplan-meier survival analysis showed that patients with high CCDC134 had a lower prognosis (57.27 months vs 36.96 months, P = 2.0E-6). Correlation analysis showed that CCDC134 mRNA expression was associated with tumor purity immune invasion. In addition, CTD database analysis identified abrine, Benzo Conclusion: In breast cancer, upregulated CCDC134 is significantly associated with lower survival and immune infiltrates invasion. Our study suggests that CCDC134 can serve as a biomarker of poor prognosis and a potential immunotherapy target in breast cancer. Seven drugs with significant potential to inhibit CCDC134 were identified.
