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

The potential role of endothelin receptor A (EDNRA) in cancer immunotherapy has been demonstrated; however, the mechanism of its therapeutic value remains to be investigated. This study aimed to reveal the potential link between cancer immunotherapy and EDNRA in human tumours. Clinical characteristics and gene expression information were acquired from the Cancer Genome Atlas database. The correlation between EDNRA expression and immune infiltration was analysed by tumour immune estimation resource (TIMER) and tumour-immune system interaction database (TISIDB). EDNRA expression in different cancer types were performed via qPCR. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the relationships between EDNRA protein and immune checkpoints. The results have founded that EDNRA was differentially expressed in various tumours, and highly associated with patient's age and tumour stage. It is also of high potential prognostic value in predicting patient survival. It has been verified that the EDNRA, JAK-STAT, and TGF-β signalling pathways are involved in cancers. In general, EDNRA positively correlated with immunomodulatory agents, immune cell infiltration, and immunotherapy markers. Immunohistochemical analysis of breast cancer tissues showed that EDNRA was positively correlated with NRP1 expression. Furthermore, patients with low EDNRA levels showed a superior response to immunotherapy. The functional study found that EDNRA expression is upregulated in MDA-MB-231 and HepG2 cells, and knockdown of EDNRA inhibits proliferation and migration of cells. In conclusion, the immunotherapeutic function of EDNRA was elucidated in this study. EDNRA may be an important target in tumour immunotherapy and provide new insights for tumour immunotherapy.
