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

backgroundAberrant expression of tumor protein D52 (TPD52) is associated with some tumors. The role of TPD52 in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC) remains uncertain.

objectiveWe aimed to investigate the involvement of TPD52 in the pathogenesis of UCEC.

methodsWe employed bioinformatics analysis and experimental validation in our study.

resultsOur findings indicated that elevated TPD52 expression in UCEC was significantly associated with various clinical factors, including clinical stage, race, weight, body mass index (BMI), histological type, histological grade, surgical approach, and age (p < 0.01). Furthermore, high TPD52 expression was a predictor of poorer overall survival (OS), progress-free survival (PFS), and disease-specific survival (DSS) (p = 0.011, p = 0.006, and p = 0.003, respectively). TPD52 exhibited a significant correlation with DSS (HR: 2.500; 95% CI: 1.153-5.419; p = 0.02). TPD52 was involved in GPCR ligand binding and formation of the cornified envelope in UCEC. Moreover, TPD52 expression was found to be associated with immune infiltration, immune checkpoints, tumor mutation burden (TMB)/ microsatellite instability (MSI), and mRNA stemness indices (mRNAsi). The somatic mutation rate of TPD52 in UCEC was 1.9%. A ceRNA network of AC011447.7/miR-1-3p/TPD52 was constructed. There was excessive TPD52 protein expression. The upregulation of TPD52 expression in UCEC cell lines was found to be statistically significant.

conclusionTPD52 is upregulated in UCEC and may be a useful patent for prognostic biomarkers of UCEC, which may have important value for clinical treatment and supervision of UCEC patients.
