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

Cell cycle exit and neuronal differentiation 1 (CEND1), highly expressed in the brain, is a specific transmembrane protein which plays a tumor suppressor role. This study is performed to investigate the role of CEND1 in various cancers through pan-cancer analysis, and further investigate its functions in gliomas by cell experiments. The expression and subcellular localization of CEND1 in different cancer types were analyzed utilizing the data from the GEPIA, UCSC, UALCAN and HPA databases. Relationships of CEND1 expression with prognosis, immunomodulation-related genes, immune checkpoint genes, microsatellite instability (MSI), tumor mutation burden (TMB) and RNA modifications were analyzed based on the TCGA database. The ESTIMATE algorithm was utilized to evaluate tumors' StromalScore, Immune Score, and ESTIMATES Score. The cBioPortal database was employed to analyze the categories and frequencies of CEND1 gene alterations. Biological functions and co-expression patterns of CEND1 in gliomas were explored using the LinkedOmics database, and Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were conducted. The interactions between CEND1 and drugs were explored employing the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database and molecular docking technology. Cell experiments were conducted to analyze triptonide's effects on glioma cells through CCK-8, flow cytometry and qRT-PCR. CEND1 was lowly expressed in gliomas, and high CEND1 expression was correlated to better overall survival of glioma patients (HR = 0.65, P = 0.02). Deep deletion was the main type of hereditary change of CEND1 mutation. CEND1 expression was markedly associated with immune infiltration, TMB, MSI, and RNA modification in various tumors (r > 0.3, P < 0.05). CEND1 co-expressed genes in gliomas were markedly correlated with immune responses and cell cycle (FDR < 0.05). Triptonide could bind well to CEND1 (-5.0 kcal/mol), and triptonide could facilitate CEND1 expression in glioma cells and cell apoptosis, and block the cell cycle progression (P < 0.05). CEND1 serves as a potential biomarker for pan-cancer. Particularly in gliomas, CEND1 is a key regulator of cell apoptosis and cell cycle, and a potential target for glioma treatment.
