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

objectiveThis study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of m6A-associated long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and their interaction with tumour microenvironment in thyroid cancer (THCA).

methodsThe clinical and gene expression data of tumours from 502 patients with THCA and 58 adjacent normal tissues were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)-THCA dataset. The Pearson test was utilized to identify potential m6A-associated lncRNAs (

resultsM6A-associated lncRNAs were identified in three cluster groups. A significant survival difference was found among them, with cluster 1 patients showing worse survival. Moreover, lower immune and estimate scores were correlated to poorer prognosis, and CD8+ T cell and memory CD4+ T cell levels were increased in cluster 1. Cluster 2, with better overall survival, had high expression of PD-L1 and CTLA-4. Eleven of the m6A-associated lncRNAs were screened to establish the risk model, including AC007365.1, AC008555.1, AC040160.1, AC064807.1, AC126773.4, AL023583.1, AL512306.2, EIF2AK3-DT, LINC00667, LYPLAL1-DT and MIR181A2HG. Based on the median risk score, THCA patients were stratified into low-risk and high-risk groups. Overall survival analysis showed a dramatic difference between the two groups. qRCR was performed to verify the expression levels of lncRNA (LYPLAL1-DT, EIF2AK3-DT and MIR181A2HG) in THCA and adjacent normal tissues. Furthermore, functional experiments showed that knockdown of MIR181A2HG obviously inhibited the proliferation and migration of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) cells

conclusionsEleven of the m6A-associated lncRNAs were identified as a risk model to predict clinical outcomes and provide a novel and efficient immunotherapeutic strategy for THCA patients.Key messagesm6A-associated lncRNAs can be used to predict the clinical outcomes of thyroid cancer patients.An m6A-associated lncRNAs risk model, which can accurately evaluate the immune status and risk stratification in individual thyroid cancer patients, was established.Knockdown/overexpression of representative lncRNAs in the risk model significantly affected the proliferation and migration of papillary thyroid cancer cells.
