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: Triggering receptors expressed by myeloid cells-1 (TREM1) is a receptor belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily and plays an important role in pro-inflammation in acute and chronic inflammatory disorders. However, the understanding of the immunomodulatory roles of TREM1 in the tumor microenvironment remains incomplete. Methods: The expression patterns of TREM1 mRNA in tumors and adjacent normal tissues were compared by analyzing data obtained from the Genotype-Tissue Expression and The Cancer Genome Atlas datasets. Survival analysis was performed to determine the prognostic value of TREM1. Functional enrichment analysis was applied to decipher the discrepancy in biological processes between high- and low-TREM1 groups across various cancers. The correlation between TREM1 and immune cell infiltration determined by using multiple algorithms was evaluated with the Pearson method. Four independent immunotherapy cohorts were adopted to validate the role of TREM1 as a biomarker. Results: TREM1 was elevated in most cancers as verified with clinical samples. Overexpression of TREM1 was linked with undesirable prognosis in patients. Further analysis revealed that TREM1 was positively correlated with immune response, pro-tumor pathways, and myeloid cell infiltration, while being negatively correlated with CD8 Conclusion: Through a systematic and comprehensive pan-cancer analysis, we demonstrated that overexpression of TREM1 in tumors correlated closely with unfavorable outcome, infiltration of immune-suppressive cells, and immune regulation, which highlights its potential use as a tumor prognostic biomarker and a novel target for immunotherapy.
