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

MRG-binding protein (MRGBP) is a transcription factor widely involved in physiological and pathological processes. Many studies have discussed the relationship between the expression level of MRGBP and the prognosis of various malignant tumours. However, the role and clinicopathological significance of MRGBP in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC) are unclear. In this study, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and logistic regression were used to analyze the relationship between clinical characteristics and MRGBP expression in HNSC. The Kaplan-Meier plotter analysis and Cox regression analysis were established to evaluate the effect of MRGBP on prognosis, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and nomogram was constructed. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) were used to analyze the correlation between MRGBP and immune infiltration. The results showed that the expression of MRGBP in HNSC tissues was significantly higher than that in normal tissues. The KM plotter analysis showed that the OS of HNSC patients was shorter. The multivariate Cox analysis further confirmed that increased expression of MRGBP was an independent risk factor for OS in HNSC patients. In addition, ROC analysis confirmed its diagnostic value and constructed prognostic nomograms, including age, T, M, N classification, pathological stage, and MRGBP. GSEA showed that MRGBP was associated with high expression of GPCR ligand binding, interleukin receptor binding, and neutrophil degranulation, and ssGSEA showed that MRGBP was associated with T cells and mast cells. In conclusion, MRGBP can serve as an independent prognostic biomarker related to immune invasion of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
