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

Background: Investigating oncogenes and the mechanisms driving oncogenic processes in human tumors is imperative for the development of efficient therapies. Peroxidasin (PXDN) has been reported to play a critical role in tissue development and homeostasis. However, the role of PXDN in the occurrence and development of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) remains unknown. Methods: Data from multiple databases, including GEO and TCGA, were used to analyze the expression levels of PXDN. Taking nasopharyngeal carcinoma as an example, Results: PXDN was highly expressed in multiple tumors, and its high expression and mutation profile were correlated with poor survival. Functionally, PXDN plays a crucial role in promoting oncogenic processes by enhancing NPC cell proliferation and metastasis. Mechanistically, PXDN activates extracellular matrix (ECM) signaling pathways while simultaneously inhibiting T-cell infiltration and activation, thereby facilitating cancer progression. Conclusion: We characterized PXDN as a valuable biomarker for pan-cancer diagnosis and prognosis. We also uncovered new oncogenic roles for PXDN in promoting cancer progression and regulating T-cell immunosuppressive function in NPC.
