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

Recent evidence indicates that FAM111B is significantly involved in the progression of various cancers. Nonetheless, the potential pan-cancer implications of FAM111B have not been systematically investigated. In this study, FAM111B's expression and oncogenic potential were studied using TCGA and GTEx data via GEPIA2, TIMER2.0, and STRING tools. Pathway enrichment analyses with the GO, KEGG, Reactome, and WikiPathways databases were conducted to explore its role in cancer development. The results were validated via multiplex immunofluorescence assays of pancreatic cancer tissues, microarray assays of ovarian cancer tissues, and protein transcriptomics of ovarian cancer cells. The expression levels of FAM111B were elevated in most cancer types and were associated with poor prognostic outcomes. Mechanistically, FAM111B expression was positively correlated with the expression of genes involved in DNA homologous recombination repair and with the infiltration of Th2 CD4+ T cells. These observations were further substantiated in ovarian cancer cell lines and tissue specimens from pancreatic and ovarian cancers. FAM111B functions as a biomarker for the DNA repair pathway and Th2 CD4+ T-cell infiltration in human malignancies.
