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

backgroundZBTB11 is a putative transcription factor with an N-terminal BTB domain and tandem C-terminal zinc finger motifs. Recent studies have suggested a potential role for ZBTB11 in tumorigenesis. However, the biological significance of ZBTB11 in different cancer types remains uncertain.

methodsThe expression levels, prognostic values, genetic mutations, and DNA promoter methylation of ZBTB11 across tumor types were explored via various online websites and databases, including TIMER2.0, GEPIA2, cBioPortal, UALCAN, GSCA, CancerSEA, and others. Additionally, a competing lncRNA-miRNA network of ZBTB11 was constructed, and its interaction with chemicals and genes was investigated.

resultsOur findings revealed that ZBTB11 was aberrantly expressed in a multitude of tumor types and exhibited variability across various tumor stages. A survival analysis revealed that ZBTB11 predicted a poor prognosis in BRCA, KIRP, LIHC, PCPG, PRAD, SARC, UCEC, and a good prognosis in CHOL, ESCA, GBM, KIRC, and READ. We also found that the most frequent genetic alterations type of ZBTB11 was mutation, and the DNA methylation level of ZBTB11 decreased in various cancers. Furthermore, ZBTB11 expression correlated with immune cells infiltration and genetic markers of immunodulators in cancers. Moreover, the results of single-cell sequencing demonstrated that ZBTB11 could regulate several tumor biological behaviors, including apoptosis, DNA damage, and angiogenesis. A lncRNA-miRNA network regulating ZBTB11 expression in tumor development and progression was constructed. It is of particular significance that ZBTB11 demonstrated a correlation with the CTRP and GDSC drug sensitivity, and that it served as a mediator between chemicals and cancers.

conclusionThese findings demonstrate that ZBTB11 is associated with multiple tumor types and disease prognosis. ZBTB11 may represent a potential key biomarker and therapeutic target in cancers.
