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

Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) plays a critical role in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) prognosis and the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). This study, utilizing public datasets and experimental validation, revealed that HDAC6 is upregulated in LUAD, correlating with poor survival outcomes and an immunosuppressive TIME characterized by increased Tregs, CAFs, M2 macrophages, and MDSCs. HDAC6-high patients showed reduced immunotherapy response. HDAC6 knockout inhibited tumor growth, suppressed PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling and EMT, and enhanced apoptosis and M1 macrophage recruitment. HDAC6 inhibition synergized with anti-PD-1 therapy, suggesting a potential combinatorial strategy for LUAD treatment. HDAC6 serves as a key prognostic marker and therapeutic target in LUAD.
