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

Recent studies have indicated that mineral dust‑induced gene (MDIG) is an oncogene induced by environmental factors, which has a key role in the development and progression of various tumor types, through epigenetic modifications; however, there are no previous pan‑cancer analyses of MDIG. In the present study, a comprehensive pan‑cancer analysis of MDIG was performed using public databases. The results demonstrated that MDIG was upregulated in tumor tissue samples compared with normal tissue, that it was present in all cancer cell lines and it was closely associated with the prognosis of patients with different tumor types. Furthermore, MDIG expression was closely associated with the immunological characteristics of the tumor microenvironment (TME), such as the frequency of tumor‑infiltrating immune cells, TME‑relevant signatures, immunostimulatory genes, immune checkpoint genes, chemokine receptor genes, tumor mutational burden and microsatellite instability. In parallel, high expression of MDIG was associated with improved overall survival of patients and this was verified in a cohort of patients who had received anti‑programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 treatment. Furthermore, high expression of MDIG led to multiple drug resistance in The Cancer Genome Atlas‑lung adenocarcinoma cohort. In addition, gene set variant analysis and gene set enrichment analysis indicated that MDIG was involved in cell cycle regulation.
