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

Skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) is one of the most aggressive and life-threatening tumors. It has a high incidence rate, as well as significant metastasis and fatality rates. To successfully treat SKCM and to increase the overall survival rate, early identification and risk stratification are both absolutely necessary. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a significant regulatory role in a variety of cancers. However, the expression and function of many lncRNAs have not been investigated. We evaluated the expression profile of the long noncoding RNA LINC02249 (LINC02249) in pan-cancers by using data on gene expression obtained from TCGA and GTEx. The biological function of LINC02249 was determined by gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). The prognostic value of LINC02249 expression in SKCM patients was statistically analyzed. Besides, the ssGSEA approach was utilized in order to investigate the degree to which LINC02249 expression is correlated with tumor immune infiltration. In this study, the expression of LINC02249 was found to be abnormally high in a variety of tumors, according to our findings. When compared with nontumor specimens, the level of expression of LINC02249 was shown to be significantly elevated in SKCM samples. GO and KEGG assays revealed LINC02249 may be involved in tumor progression. High expression of LINC02249 was associated with shorter overall survival and disease-specific survival of SKCM patients. More importantly, multivariate methods revealed that LINC02249 expression was an independent prognostic factor for SKCM cases. Using ssGSEA, we found that the expression of LINC02249 was negatively associated with different tumor-infiltrating immune cells, especially aDC, Treg, and macrophages. Overall, our findings suggested that LINC02249 can serve as a novel biomarker to predict the prognosis and immune infiltration in SKCM.
