Identification of
Article in Cancer genomics & proteomics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND/
aimTetratricopeptide repeat domain 21A (TTC21A) plays a crucial role in ciliary function and has been associated with various pathogenic processes, including carcinogenesis. However, its role in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) has not been elucidated. MATERIALS AND
methodsBased on the sequencing and microarray data of HNSCC from publicly available databases, the expression of TTC21A was compared between different subgroups based on clinical and molecular parameters. The survival analysis and regression analysis were conducted using the Kaplan-Meier method and the Cox method, respectively. Functional analysis was performed by the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), Gene Ontology (GO), and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) tools. Immune infiltration analysis was performed based on the expression of TTC21A.
resultsTTC21A decreased in tumor tissues and was associated with N stage, histologic grade, HPV infection, and TP53 mutation in HNSCC. TTC21A was an independent indicator of overall survival for patients with HNSCC. A high level of TTC21A expression indicated a favorable prognosis. The TTC21A expression level was involved with immune-related signaling regulation, immune-related gene expression, and immune cell infiltration. TTC21A expression was potent in predicting immunotherapeutic benefits.
conclusionTTC21A, as a potential predictor of favorable outcomes and immunotherapy response for HNSCC, is related to immune-related signaling regulation, immune-related gene expression, and immune cell infiltration.
