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: Assessing the phenotypic diversity underlying tumor progression requires the identification of variations in the respective molecular interaction in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Despite emerging studies focusing on the association between cation-chloride cotransporters (CCCs) and carcinogenesis, direct evidence that CCCs (KCC2 and NKCC1) mediate tumor progression in pan-cancer remains unclear. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive assessment of the expression, DNA variation profiles, and prognostic and immunologic implications of CCCs based on a large-scale pan-cancer population, including 10,967 cancer patients from the Cancer Genome Atlas, 9,162 cancer patients from Genomics Expression Omnibus, 48,834 cancer patients from 188 independent studies, and 356 cancer patients from three real-world cohorts. Results: In this study, we first found that CCCs were highly expressed in most tumors, and prominently associated with prognosis. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression analysis revealed that KCC2 and NKCC1 significantly predicted survival for patients with pan-cancer, suggesting that CCCs have inconsistent tumorigenesis regulatory mechanisms in cancers. Next, we examined the DNA variation landscape of KCC2 and NKCC1 and their prognostic implications in pan-cancer. The results demonstrated that UCEC patients with somatic copy number variation (CNV) of NKCC1 received significantly better outcomes ( Conclusion: This study first comprehensively investigated the molecular and clinical role of CCCs, and illustrated the significant association among KCC2/NKCC1 expression, DNA variation profiles prognosis, and TME of pan-cancer. The pan-cancer findings provided an in-depth understanding of potential oncogenic and immunologic of differential expression and DNA alteration of KCC2/NKCC1 cancers.
