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: Ankyrin repeat and SOCS Box containing 3 (ASB3) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase. It has been reported to regulate the progression of some cancers, but no systematic pan-cancer analysis has been conducted to explore its function in prognosis and immune microenvironment. Method: In this study, mRNA expression data were downloaded from TCGA and GTEx database. Next generation sequencing data from 14 glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) samples by neurosurgical resection were used as validation dataset. Multiple bioinformatics methods (ssGSEA, Kaplan-Meier, Cox regression analysis, GSEA and online tools) were applied to explore ASB3 expression, gene activity, prognosis of patients in various cancers, and its correlation with clinical information, immune microenvironment and pertinent signal pathways in GBM. The biological function of ASB3 in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) was verified using an animal model. Results: We found that ASB3 was aberrant expressed in a variety of tumors, especially in GBM, and significantly correlated with the prognosis of cancer patients. The level of ASB3 was related to the TMB, MSI and immune cell infiltration in some cancer types. ASB3 had a negative association with immune infiltration and TME, including regulatory T cells (Tregs), cancer-associated fibroblasts, immunosuppressors and related signaling pathways in GBM. ASB3 overexpression reduced the proportion of Tregs in TILs. GSEA and PPI analysis also showed negative correlation between ASB3 expression and oncogenetic signaling pathways in GBM. Conclusion: A comprehensive pan-cancer analysis of ASB3 showed its potential function as a biomarker of cancer prognosis and effective prediction of immunotherapy response. This study not only enriches the understanding of the biological function of ASB3 in pan-cancer, especially in GBM immunity, but also provides a new reference for the personalized immunotherapy of GBM.
