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

backgroundNeural precursor cell expressed developmentally downregulated 9 (NEDD9) is considered an important factor in the progression of cancer, acting as a modulator of cellular migration, adhesion, and metastatic potential. Its significance as a prognostic factor, however, remains unclear, which necessitated a comprehensive review and meta-analysis.

methodsOur study followed the PRISMA guidelines, analyzing studies from major databases including PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane. Our eligibility criteria included studies evaluating NEDD9 expression in relation to cancer prognosis and outcomes such as overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), disease-free Survival (DFS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), and cancer-specific survival (CSS). We used random-effects and fixed-effect models for meta-analysis, and we validated our findings by comparative analysis using data from external cohorts like The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).

resultsThe analysis of 27 studies with 3915 patients demonstrated a significant relationship between NEDD9 expression and poor OS as indicated by the pooled meta-analysis outcome across all included cancers (HR: 1.81, 95% CI: 1.38-2.37). A significant effect on PFS/DFS/RFS/CSS was also found (HR: 2.14, 95% CI: 1.42-3.23). Variations in survival across different types of cancer were indicated by subgroup analysis. NEDD9 expression was correlated with various immune cells across cancer types according to immune infiltration analysis. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis indicated significant interactions involving NEDD9, suggesting mechanisms which influence tumor behavior and response to treatment.

conclusionOur results suggest that NEDD9 is a significant prognostic marker in several human cancers. As a result of its central role in cancer progression and prognosis, it presents a promising target for therapeutic interventions. Our study highlights the importance of further research into the biology of NEDD9 and its therapeutic potential.
