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

backgroundRegulatory factor X (RFX) gene family is a series of encodes transcription factors with a highly conserved DNA binding domain. RFXs played a vital role in the development and progression of cancer. However, the significance of RFXs in stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) has not been fully clarified.

methodsOnline bioinformatics tools such as GSCALite, Kaplan-Meier Plotter, TIMER, LinkedOmics were used to explore the immunomodulatory function and clinical value of RFXs in STAD.

resultsThe mRNA level of RFX1, RFX3, RFX4, RFX5, RFX7 and RFX8 was significantly elevated in STAD tissue versus adjacent normal tissue. We also summarize the copy number variation, single nucleotide variants and drug sensitivity of RFXs in STAD. Prognostic analysis indicated that STAD patients with high RFX5 and RFX7 expression had a better overall survival, first progression, and post-progression survival. Moreover, RFX5 expression was significantly associated with the abundance of immune cells, the expression of immune biomarkers and tumor mutational burden score in STAD. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that RFX5 and its related genes were mainly involved in T cell activation, antigen receptor-mediated signaling pathway, cell adhesion molecules, and Th17 cell differentiation. Validation study further verified the expression and prognosis of RFX5 in STAD. Further univariate and multivariate analyses suggested that pathological stage and RFX5 could be a potential independent prognostic factor for STAD.

conclusionsRFX5 was a candidate prognostic biomarker and associated with immune infiltration in STAD.
