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: Gem nuclear organelle-associated protein 6 (GEMIN6) is a component of the GEMINS protein family involved in the survival of motor neuron (SMN) complex. SMN interfered with snRNP assembly and mRNA processing resulting in tumorigenesis. We performed this study to explore the association between GEMIN6 and lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Methods: We used The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases to collect transcriptomic expression data of LUAD patients and analyze the difference in GEMIN6 expression between normal and tumor tissues of LUAD. qRT-PCR analysis was also performed to detect the expression of GEMIN6 in normal and LUAD cells. The expression of GEMIN6 on the LUAD patient survival outcome was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox analyses. In addition, the Metascape online tool and single-sample GSEA were employed to find out the underlying biological mechanisms of GEMIN6. Furthermore, the correlations of GEMIN6 expression with immune cell infiltration in LUAD were analyzed by ssGSEA and Spearman correlation analysis. Results: Compared with the normal tissues and cells, the expression of GEMIN6 was significantly higher in LUAD tissues and cells; the high expression GEMIN6 was also found in the advanced pathologic stage and advanced N and T stages of LUAD. GEMIN6 high expression was significantly associated with inferior overall survival. The heat map revealed the top 20 coexpressed genes with GEMIN6, including SF3B6, CPSF3, and PSMB3. Functional enrichment analysis demonstrated that enrichment genes are associated with the cell cycle, mRNA processing, and energy metabolism. Additionally, GEMIN6 was negatively related to the immune cell infiltration in LUAD. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that GEMIN6 was involved in the tumorigenesis and progression of LUAD. GEMIN6 could be an important molecular marker of poor prognosis and a therapeutic target of LUAD.
