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

CEP55, a member of the centrosomal protein family, affects cell mitosis and promotes the progression of several malignancies. However, the relationship between CEP55 expression levels and prognosis, as well as their role in cancer progression and immune infiltration in different cancer types, remains unclear. We used a combined form of several databases to validate the expression of CEP55 in pan-cancer and its association with immune infiltration, and we further screened its targeted inhibitors with CEP55. Our results showed the expression of CEP55 was significantly higher in most tumors than in the corresponding normal tissues, and it correlated with the pathological grade and age of the patients and affected the prognosis. In breast cancer cells, CEP55 knockdown significantly decreased cell survival, proliferation, and migration, while overexpression of CEP55 significantly promoted breast cancer cell proliferation and migration. Moreover, CEP55 expression was positively correlated with immune cell infiltration, immune checkpoints, and immune-related genes in the tumor microenvironment. CD-437 was screened as a potential CEP55-targeted small-molecule compound inhibitor. In conclusion, our study highlights the prognostic value of CEP55 in cancer and further provides a potential target selection for CEP55 as a potential target for intervention in tumor immune infiltration and related immune genes.
