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

backgroundThe β

methodsWe analyzed ADRB1 expression in different types of cancer and corresponding normal tissues. The correlation between ADRB1 expression and pathological grade, stage and survival of cancers were analyzed. We explored the methylation level of ADRB1 in various cancers. The cBioPortal website was used to determine the mutation characteristics of ADRB1 in cancer tissues. Additionally, the CancerSEA website was employed to explore the correlation between ADRB1 expression and different functional states in cancers. We also analyzed the correlation between ADRB1 expression and immune checkpoint (ICP) genes, tumor mutation burden (TMB), microsatellite instability (MSI), neoantigens and cancer-infiltrating immune cells.

resultsOur results showed that ADRB1 expression was downregulated in the majority of solid cancers. The ADRB1 expression was significantly associated with the prognosis of cancer. High expression of ADRB1 was found to be a protective factor for patients with several types of cancer. In some cancers, ADRB1 expression was associated with clinical pathological stages. Functional relevance analysis indicated the crucial role of ADRB1 in regulating multiple biological behaviors of cancer cells. The expression of ADRB1 was associated with TMB, MSI, neoantigens and immune cell infiltration in cancers.

conclusionsThese comprehensive pan-cancer analysis suggested that ADRB1 plays a protective role in various cancer types, such as skin cutaneous melanoma and lung adenocarcinoma. This may provide a new idea for the clinical treatment of cancer patients.
