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

backgroundLittle is known about the relationship between N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-related genes and tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It is unclear which m6A regulators are essential for NSCLC progression. The aim of this work was to excavate the role of m6A-related genes in the TIME and progression of NSCLC.

methodsBased on bioinformatics analysis, heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein C (HNRNPC) was considered as the most influential m6A regulator. Further study was investigated using patient samples, stable cell lines, and xenograft mice models.

resultsThe differentially expressed profiles of m6A-related genes were established in NSCLC, and the NSCLC samples were clustered into two subtypes with different immune infiltration and survival time. Next, we found that the risk score (RS) based on m6A-related genes was a predictor of prognosis and immunotherapy response for NSCLC, in which HNRNPC was considered as the most influential m6A regulator. In NSCLC patients, we confirmed that HNRNPC predicted poor prognosis and correlated with tumor invasion and lymph node metastasis. RNA-seq data revealed that HNRNPC was involved in cell growth, cell migration, extracellular matrix organization and angiogenesis. In vitro, we verified that HNRNPC knockdown attenuated the cell proliferation, clonogenicity, invasion and migration. In vivo, HNRNPC knockdown inhibited the tumor growth and lung metastasis. Additionally, HNRNPC knockdown was associated with high CD8 + T cell infiltration, along with elevated CD4 + T cell infiltration, collagen production and angiogenesis.

conclusionsM6A regulator HNRNPC, a predictor of prognosis and immunotherapy response based on bioinformatics analysis, is related to proliferation and invasion of NSCLC cells.
