Prognostic and immunological role of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase 1B1 in human tumors: A pan-cancer analysis.
Article in International journal of immunopathology and pharmacology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Acetaldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDH) 1B1 is associated with a poor prognosis in pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, and osteosarcoma. Overexpression of ALDH also impairs tumor immunity. However, it is unclear how ALDH1B1 is associated with patient prognosis and immune infiltration in different cancer types. This is an original research based on bioinformatics analysis. In this study, we investigated the expression and prognostic value of ALDH1B1 in pan-cancer specimens using several databases, including GEPIA2 and Kaplan-Meier Plotter. The GEPIA2 and TIMER2 databases were used to explore correlations between ALDH1B1 expression and immune infiltration in cancers, especially head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC) and stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD). Finally, the expression of ALDH1B1 was validated by qPCR and immunohistochemistry. The expression of ALDH1B1 differed in most cancers compared to normal tissue controls. ALDH1B1 has an important impact on the prognosis different cancer types, and the high expression of ALDH1B1 is inversely associated with survival in patients with HNSC. A significant positive correlation was identified between ALDH1B1 expression in HNSC and immune infiltration. The poor prognosis associated with high expression of ALDH1B1 may be related to the promotion of M2 polarization of tumor-associated macrophages. Furthermore, markers of immune cell infiltration, such as exhausted T cells and regulatory T cells showed different patterns of ALDH1B1-associated immune infiltration. ALDH1B1 can serve as a prognostic biomarker in pan-cancer types and is correlated with immune infiltration.
