High expression of CCDC69 is correlated with immunotherapy response and protective effects on breast cancer.
Article in BMC cancer, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
backgroundAs a molecule controlling the assembly of central spindles and recruitment of midzone component, coiled-coil domain-containing protein 69 (CCDC69) plays an important role in multiple cancers. Currently, the relationships between CCDC69 and immune infiltration or immunotherapy in breast cancer remain unclear.
methodsThe expression and prognostic significance of CCDC69 in breast cancer were comprehensively analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR, immunohistochemical staining and various databases. The data source of differentially expressed genes, gene set enrichment analysis, and immune cell infiltration analysis came from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Single-cell analysis based on IMMUcan database was used. The protein-protein interaction network was developed applying STRING, Cytoscape, CytoHubba, and GeneMANIA. TISIDB was employed in analyzing the CCDC69 co-expressed immune related genes. The correlations between CCDC69 and immunotherapy or immune-related scores were analyzed by CAMOIP and TISMO. Ctr-db was also used to conduct drug sensitivity analysis.
resultsThe mRNA of CCDC69 was downregulated in breast cancer tissues compared with normal tissues. Higher CCDC69 expression was associated with a better breast cancer prognosis. Enrichment analysis showed that the co-expression genes of CCDC69 were mainly related to immune-related pathways. The expression of CCDC69 was found to be positively correlated with multiple tumor-suppression immune infiltration cells, especially T cells and dendritic cells. Meanwhile, high CCDC69 expression can predict better immunotherapy responses when compared with low CCDC69 expression. After the interferon-gamma treatment, the CCDC69 expression was elevated in vitro. CCDC69 expression was a reliable predictor for the response status of two therapeutic strategies in breast cancer.
conclusionsOur research revealed the clinical significance of CCDC69 in breast cancer and validated the critical roles of CCDC69 in the tumor immune infiltration and immunotherapy responses.
