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

aimPseudouridylation has demonstrated the potential to control the development of numerous malignancies. PUS7(Pseudouridine Synthase 7) is one of the pseudouridine synthases, but the literature on this enzyme is limited to several cancer types. Currently, no investigation has been performed on the systematic pan-cancer analysis concerning PUS7 role in cancer diagnosis and prognosis.

methodsEmploying public databases, including The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Genotype-Tissue Expression Project (GTEx), Human Protein Atlas (HPA), UALCAN and Tumor Immune Single-cell Hub (TISCH), this work investigated the PUS7 carcinogenesis in pan-cancer. Differential expression analysis, prognostic survival analysis and biological function were systematically performed. Furthermore, PUS7 potential as an osteosarcoma biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis was assessed in this study.

resultsThe findings indicated that PUS7 was overexpressed in the majority of malignancies. High PUS7 expression contributed to the poor prognosis among 11 cancer types, including Adrenocortical Cancer (ACC), Bladder Cancer (BLCA), Liver Cancer (LIHC), Kidney Papillary Cell Carcinoma (KIRP), Mesothelioma (MESO), Lower Grade Glioma (LGG), Kidney Chromophobe (KICH), Sarcoma (SARC), osteosarcoma (OS), Pancreatic Cancer (PAAD), and Thyroid Cancer (THCA). In addition, elevated PUS7 expression was linked to advanced TNM across multiple malignancies, including ACC, BLCA, KIRP, LIHC and PAAD. The function enrichment analysis revealed that PUS7 participates in E2F targets, G2M checkpoint, ribosome biogenesis, and rRNA metabolic process. Moreover, PUS7 is also a reliable biomarker and a potential therapeutic target for osteosarcoma.

conclusionsIn summary, PUS7 is a putative pan-cancer biomarker that reliably forecasts cancer patients' prognosis. In addition, this enzyme regulates the cell cycle, ribosome biogenesis, and rRNA metabolism. Most importantly, PUS7 possibly regulates osteosarcoma initiation and progression.
