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: JMJD8 has recently been identified as a cancer-related gene, but current studies provide limited information. We aimed to clarify its roles and the potential mechanisms in pan-cancer. Methods: Pan-cancer bulk sequencing data and online web tools were applied to analyze JMJD8's correlations with prognosis, genome instability, cancer stemness, DNA repair, and immune infiltration. Moreover, single-cell datasets, SpatialDB database, and multiple fluorescence staining were used to validate the association between JMJD8 expression and M2 macrophages. Further, we utilized ROCplotter and cMap web tool to analyze the therapeutic responses and screened JMJD8-targeted compounds, respectively, and we used AlphaFold2 and Discovery Studio to conduct JMJD8 homology modeling and molecular docking. Results: We first noticed that JMJD8 was an oncogene in many cancer types. High JMJD8 was associated with lower genome stability. We then found that high JMJD8 correlated with high expression of mismatch repair genes, stemness, homologous repair gene signature in more than 9 cancers. ESTIMATE and cytokine analyses results presented JMJD8's association with immunosuppression. Also, immune checkpoint CD276 was positively relevant to JMJD8. Subsequently, we validated JMJD8 as the M2 macrophage marker and showed its connection with other immunosuppressive cells and CD8+ T-cell depression. Finally, potential JMJD8-targeted drugs were screened out and docked to JMJD8 protein. Conclusion: We found that JMJD8 was a novel oncogene, and it correlated with immunosuppression and DNA repair. JMJD8 was highly associated with immune checkpoint CD276 and was an M2 macrophage biomarker in many cancers. This study will reveal JMJD8's roles in pan-cancer and its potential as a novel therapeutic target.
