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: AlkB homolog 5 (ALKBH5) is a N Methods: Online websites and databases such as NCBI, UCSC, CCLE, HPA, TIMER2, GEPIA2, cBioPortal, UALCAN, STRING, SangerBox, ImmuCellAl, xCell, and GenePattern were used to extract data of ALKBH5 in multiple cancers. The pan-cancer patient datasets were analyzed to determine the relationship between ALKBH5 expression, genetic alterations, methylation status, and tumor immunity. Targetscan, miRWalk, miRDB, miRabel, LncBase databases and Cytoscape tool were used to identify microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) that regulate expression of ALKBH5 and construct the lncRNA-miRNA-ALKBH5 network. Results: The pan-cancer analysis showed that ALKBH5 was upregulated in several solid tumors. ALKBH5 expression significantly correlated with the prognosis of cancer patients. Genetic alterations including duplications and deep mutations of the Conclusions: ALKBH5 was overexpressed in multiple cancer types and promoted the development and progression of cancers through several mechanisms including regulation of the tumor-infiltration of immune cells. Our study shows that ALKBH5 is a promising prognostic and immunotherapeutic biomarker in some malignant tumors.
