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

backgroundIt is of great clinical significance to discover novel biomarkers for neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) treatments. We discovered a potential cancer-related gene, Cornichon Family AMPA Receptor Auxiliary Protein 4 (CNIH4), that can be a biomarker for HNSCC.

methodsWe access multiple open databases and analyzed bulk mRNA-sequencing, protein staining, and single-cell mRNA-sequencing data of HNSCC and investigated the diagnostic and prognostic value of CNIH4 in HNSCC. The potential association between CNIH4 and the immune microenvironment of HNSCC was also estimated.

resultsCNIH4 was significantly up-regulated in HNSCC compared with non-cancer tissues. Higher CNIH4 resulted in a shorter overall survival time and we further constructed a survival nomogram for clinical applications. 2012 and 421 genes were identified as positive and negative differentially expressed genes of CNIH4 in HNSCC respectively. These genes were mostly mapped to "Cell cycle", "DNA replicate", "Cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction" KEGG pathways. Functions associated with CNIH4 were "stemness", "cell cycle", and "DNA repair" in single-cell data. CNIH4 potentially affected immune cell infiltration levels and cancer immune therapy.

conclusionCNIH4 is a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker associated with cancer stemness and immunity in HNSCC.
