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

HMGA1 plays an important role in a variety of biological processes. However, it is still unclear what role HMGA1 plays in HNSCC. By integrating multi-omics data from public and private cohorts, we conducted a comprehensive analysis. The results showed that HMGA1 expression was significantly higher in HNSCC tumor tissue, correlated with poor prognosis. Increased HMGA1 expression indicated distinct somatic mutations and heavier tumor mutation burden, meanwhile, had significant interaction with several immune checkpoints. Single-cell analysis suggested that HMGA1 was highly enriched in malignant cells. In-vitro and in-vivo experiments also suggested that HMGA1 promoted the proliferation, migration and activation of HNSCC cells. Upstream analysis showed that cg25207224
