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

backgroundLong non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) have been implicated in a hand of studies that supported an involvement and co-operation in Uterine Corpus Endometrial Carcinoma (UCEC). Enhancer RNAs (eRNA), a functional subtype of lncRNA, have a key role throughout the genome to guide protein production, thus potentially associated with diseases.

methodsIn this study, we mainly applied the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset to systematically discover crucial eRNAs involving UCEC. For the key eRNAs in UCEC, we employed RT-qPCR to compare eRNA expression levels in tumor tissues and paired normal adjacent tissues from UCEC patients for validation. Furthermore, the relationships between the key eRNAs and immune activities were measured from several aspects, including the analysis for tumor microenvironment, immune infiltration cells, immune check point genes, tumor mutation burden, and microsatellite instability, as well as m6A related genes. Finally, the key eRNAs were verified by a comprehensive pan-cancer analysis.

resultsIGFBP7 Antisense RNA 1 (IGFBP7-AS1) was identified as the key eRNA for its expression patterns of low levels in tumor tissues and favorable prognostic value in UCEC correlated with its target gene IGFBP7. In RT-qPCR analysis, IGFBP7-AS1 and IGFBP7 had down-regulated expression in tumor tissues, which was consistent with previous analysis. Moreover, IGFBP7-AS1 was found closely related with immune response in relevant immune analyses. Besides, IGFBP7-AS1 and its target gene IGFBP7 correlated with a multi-omics pan-cancer analysis.

conclusionsFinally, we suggested that IGFBP7-AS1 played a key role in impacting on clinical outcomes of UCEC patients for its possible influence on immune activity.
