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

ARHGEF6, a member of the Dbl-related guanylate exchanger (GEF) family, is highly expressed in gastric cancer and glioma. However, scientists still do not know whether it plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of lung adenocarcinoma(LUAD). The prognostic significance of ARHGEF6 expression was assessed by TCGA data. This paper focuses on the level of immune infiltration associated with ARHGEF6 and explored the relationship of this gene with the tumor mutational burden (TMB), immune checkpoints, and drug sensitivity. The results showed that the high expression of ARHGEF6 was associated with a good prognosis in LUAD patients, and positively correlated with a variety of immune cells and drugs. Meanwhile, ARHGEF6 was found to be negatively correlated with TMB. In conclusion, the results of this study suggest that ARHGEF6 is a protective gene in LUAD patients. A combination of ARHGEF6 and TMB could be used as a potential biomarker in the screening of immunotherapy regimens, which are provided to patients with LUAD.
