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

backgroundADCYAP1 has been identified with potential effects ranging from tumor growth activation to inhibition. However, it remains unknown whether ADCYAP1 plays a substantial role across pan-cancer.

methodsThe potential roles of ADCYAP1 in 33 different tumors were analyzed based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). We investigated the expression levels, mutations, survival rates, DNA methylation, and immune cell infiltration associated with ADCYAP1. In addition, we analyzed immunotherapy response data from the Tumor Immunotherapy Gene Expression Resource (TIGER) database and previously reported studies.

resultsIn general, high expression of ADCYAP1 has been linked to poor OS in the TCGA Bladder urothelial carcinoma cohort (BLCA) (p = 0.003), Stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) cohort (p = 0.002), and Uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC) cohort (p = 0.032). However, the opposite association was observed in the Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) cohort (p = 0.034), Kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) cohort (p < 0.0001), and Liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) cohort (p = 0.027). Notably, the BLCA and UCEC samples showed a higher frequency of ADCYAP1 mutations compared to others. Our results suggested that the level of ADCYAP1 methylation can serve as a prognostic factor for OS in patients with STAD and UCEC. The analysis of six cancer immunotherapy(CIT) response datasets showed that ADCYAP1 has predictive value for immunotherapy response in BLCA.

conclusionsThere is a potential correlation between ADCYAP1 and tumor immunity. Consequently, we propose that ADCYAP1 could potentially serve as a valuable prognostic biomarker for BLCA.
