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

Serpin family A member 1 (SERPINA1) encodes a protease inhibitor participating in many human diseases, but its value in immunoregulation and prognosis of human cancers remains unclear. In this study, through comprehensive analysis of data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) datasets, we found that SERPINA1 was dysregulated in many cancers compared with normal tissues. SERPINA1 expression was significantly associated with prognosis, immune subtype, molecular subtype, immune checkpoint (ICP) genes, tumor mutational burden (TMB), microsatellite instability (MSI), and the estimation of stromal and immune cells in malignant tumor tissues using expression data (ESTIMATE) score. There was a strong connection between SERPINA1 expression and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, and SERPINA1 showed significant relation to gene markers of immune cells in digestive tumors. Fluorescence-based multiplex immunohistochemistry confirmed that SERPINA1 protein expression was related to clinicopathologic features and immune infiltrates in hepatic cancer. This study suggests that SERPINA can potentially serve as a novel biomarker for cancer prognosis and immunotherapy.
