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: Ovarian-tumor (OTU) domain-containing protein 6B (OTUD6B), one of newly identified OTU deubiquitylating enzyme families, is proved to be associated with tumor progression. However, whether it plays a key role in pan-cancer still remains unknown. Methods: The profiles of OTUD6B expression in multiple cancers were analyzed using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Information of protein expression was performed based on the HPA, GeneCards, and String databases. K-M plotter and survival data analysis were used to analyze the prognostic value of OTUD6B expression, including overall survival (OS), disease-specific survival (DSS), disease-free interval (DFI), and progression-free interval (PFI). R package "clusterProfiler" was used for enrichment analysis of OTUD6B. Furthermore, we analyzed the correlation between the expression of OTUD6B, immune infiltration, and immune-related genes. Additionally, we preliminarily validated its tumorigenic effect in lung cancer cell lines. Findings: OTUD6B expression was upregulated in most cancers, such as COAD, CHOL, and LUAD, and predicted poor prognosis in most cancers in TCGA. Results showed that OTUD6B expression was positively correlated with memory CD4 Conclusions: The study indicated that OTUD6B is an oncogene and may serve as a new potential biomarker in various tumors. OTUD6B may play a part in TIME, which could be applied as a new target for cancer therapy.
