Identification of the Potential Correlation between Tumor Protein 73 and Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

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.
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: Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSC) are common malignant tumors with a high occurrence and poor prognosis. Tumor protein P73 (TP73) plays an integral role in a wide range of human malignancies, but its gene expression profile, prognostic value, and potential mechanisms in HNSC remain to be comprehensively explored. Objective: This research aimed to elucidate the potential relationship between TP73 and HNSC through bioinformatics analysis. Methods: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database was queried to investigate the regulatory role of TP73 in HNSC. The survival probabilities linked to TP73 mRNA were determined via the Kaplan-Meier analysis using R packages. Subsequently, the association of TP73 with several clinical subgroups and immunological subtypes was studied using a cohort from the TCGA-HNSC. Functional analyses were used to identify the potential signaling pathways enriched by the correlated genes of TP73. The relationship between TP73 and immunological aspects, including immune cells, immune inhibitor genes, immune stimulator genes, and tumor immune microenvironment, were investigated. Results: This study showed that the protein and mRNA levels of TP73 in HNSC patients were significantly higher than those in normal tissues. Elevated TP73 expression was related to a better survival outcome in HNSC patients. The TP73 gene was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival in HNSC samples. TP73 was mainly involved in DNA replication, ribosome, apoptosis, mismatch repair, and folate biosynthesis. TP73 was found to be positively correlated with the majority of tumor infiltrating immune cells and immunoinhibitory genes in HNSC. Conclusions: Integrative bioinformatics and statistical analyses displayed that TP73 might serve as a novel marker for the diagnosis and prognosis of HNSC. TP73 modulates immune cells in the tumor microenvironment of HNSC patients, thereby bearing significance for HNSC immunotherapy.
