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

RAC1, a member of the Rho family GTPases, has been implicated in various cancers, yet its pan-cancer landscape and role in the tumor immune microenvironment remain underexplored. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of RAC1 across 33 cancer types, revealing its high expression in a broad range of cancers and its association with poor prognosis. RAC1 expression correlates with genomic alterations, including CNVs, TMB, and MSI. RAC1 knockdown reduces cell proliferation and metastasis in breast and lung cancer cells, suggesting its oncogenic potential. Notably, RAC1 is negatively correlated with B cell infiltration, indicating its role in regulating the immune microenvironment. Functional enrichment analysis showed that high RAC1 expression is linked to lower enrichment in B cell activation and immune response pathways. Single-cell transcriptome analysis identified RAC1 expression primarily in epithelial cells, associated with tumor progression, and spatial transcriptome analysis showed a mutually exclusive co-localization between B cell infiltration regions and RAC1-expressing epithelial cells. Based on RAC1 expression and B cell interaction, a prognostic signature was established to predict prognosis at the pan-cancer level.
