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

To obtain novel insights into the tumor biology and therapeutic targets of LUAD, we performed a comprehensive analysis of the KCTD family genes. The expression patterns and clinical significance of the KCTD family were identified through multiple bioinformatics mining. Moreover, the molecular functions and potential mechanisms of differentially expressed KCTDs were evaluated using TIMER 2.0, cBioPortal, GeneMANIA, LinkedOmics and GSEA. The results indicated that the mRNA and protein expression levels of KCTD9, KCTD10, KCTD12, KCTD15 and KCTD16 were significantly decreased in LUAD, while those of KCTD5 were significantly increased. High KCTD5 expression was significantly associated with advanced tumor stage, lymph node metastasis, TP53 mutation and poor prognosis. In addition, KCTD5 was positively correlated with CD8 + T cell, neutrophil, macrophage and dendritic cell infiltration. Additionally, KCTDs demonstrate promising prospects in the diagnosis of LUAD. Importantly, high KCTD5 expression was enriched in signaling pathways associated with the malignant progression of tumors, including the inflammatory response, the IL6/JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway, EMT and hypoxia. Further association analysis showed that KCTD5 was positively correlated with hypoxia-related genes such as HIF1. Overall, KCTDs can be used as molecular targets for the treatment of LUAD, as well as effective molecular biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis prediction.
