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

Lipoic acid synthetase (LIAS) has been demonstrated to play a crucial role in the progression of cancer. Exploring the underlying mechanisms and biological functions of LIAS could have potential therapeutic guidance for cancer treatment. Our study has explored the expression levels and prognostic values of LIAS in pan-cancer through several bioinformatics platforms, including TIMER2.0, Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis, version 2 (GEPIA2.0), and Human Protein Atlas (HPA). We found that a high LIAS expression was related to the good prognosis in patients with kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), rectum adenocarcinoma (READ), breast cancer, and ovarian cancer. Inversely, a high LIAS expression showed unfavorable prognosis in lung cancer patients. In addition, the genetic alteration, methylation levels, and immune analysis of LIAS in pan-cancer have been evaluated. To elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism of LIAS, we conduct the single-cell sequencing to implicate that LIAS expression was related to hypoxia, angiogenesis, and DNA repair. Thus, these comprehensive pan-cancer analyses have conveyed that LIAS could be potentially significant in the progression of various cancers. Moreover, the LIAS expression could predict the efficacy of immunotherapy in cancer patients.
