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

Paired immunoglobulin-like type 2 receptor alpha (PILRA) plays a vital role in regulating broad immune responses. However, the roles of PILRA in cancer immunity remain unexplored yet. In the current study, we comprehensively analyzed the oncogenic and immunologic roles of PILRA at a pan-cancer level based on the Cancer Genome Atlas and Gene Expression Omnibus datasets. PILRA was significantly dysregulated and frequently mutated in pan-cancer. Its expression and mutation status significantly impacted patient prognosis in several cancers. Besides, PILRA expression was positively correlated with ESTIMATE scores and the abundances of tumor-infiltrating immune cells. Concurrently, PILRA expression was significantly associated with predictive biomarkers of cancer immunotherapy, and positively correlated with the prognostic outcomes of cancer patients receiving immunotherapy. Mechanistically, enrichment analysis implied that PILRA might be involved in the regulation of immune response and metabolic process. This study uncovered the immunological roles of PILRA in cancers and its potential as a novel biomarker and therapeutic target for cancer immunotherapy.
