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

SLC7A11 has significant translational value in cancer treatment. However, there are few studies on whether SLC7A11 affects the immune status of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Information on SLC7A11 expression and its impact on prognosis was obtained from the cancer genome atlas and gene expression omnibus databases. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analysed by GO and KEGG. GSEA enrichment analysis was performed in the SLC7A11-high and SLC7A11-low groups. The relationship between SLC7A11 and tumour immunity, immune checkpoints, and immune cell infiltration was studied using R language. We analysed the correlation between SLC7A11 and chemotactic factors (CFs) and chemokine receptors using the TISIDB database. SLC7A11 is overexpressed in many tumours, including LUAD. The 5-year overall survival of patients in the SLC7A11-high group was lower than in the SLC7A11-low group. KEGG analysis found that the DEGs were enriched in ferroptosis signaling pathways. GSEA analysis found that the survival-related signaling pathways were enriched in the SLC7A11-low group. The SLC7A11-low group had higher immune scores and immune checkpoint expression. SLC7A11 was negatively correlated with many immune cells (CD8+ T cells, immature dendritic cells), CFs, chemokine receptors (such as CCL17/19/22/23, CXCL9/10/11/14, CCR4/6, CX3CR1, CXCR3) and MHCs (major histocompatibility complex). SLC7A11 may regulate tumour immunity and could be a potential therapeutic target for LUAD.
