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

Purpose: C-type lectin domain family 4 member M (CLEC4M) has been found to be involved in the occurrence and development of cancer, but its role in NSCLC remains to be fully explored. Our work aims to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic value of CLEC4M in NSCLC and to investigate the underlying mechanisms of CLEC4M in the immune microenvironment of NSCLC. Methods: Integrating publicly accessible data and clinical tissue samples to verify the expression of CLEC4M in NSCLC. The diagnostic value of CLEC4M was determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, nomogram plot, univariate and multivariate Cox regression models were performed to evaluate the prognostic impact of CLEC4M on NSCLC patients. The correlation between CLEC4M and tumor immune infiltration was estimated using TIMER and UALCAN databases. Functional assessments including GO, KEGG pathway and GSEA analyses were implemented to illustrate the potential mechanisms of CLEC4M in NSCLC. Results: CLEC4M was significantly downregulated in NSCLC tissue, as confirmed by immunohistochemistry of clinical tissues. The high AUC value of ROC curves demonstrated the diagnostic accuracy of CLEC4M in NSCLC. Additionally, low CLEC4M expression was associated with poor survival in NSCLC patients. Furthermore, CLEC4M was found to be significantly associated with tumor immune infiltration, and CLEC4M may be involved in immune activation and proliferation inhibition through the functional assessment, suggesting that CLEC4M may be a therapeutic target for NSCLC patients. Conclusion: Our findings reveal CLEC4M is significantly downregulated in NSCLC tissues, and illustrate the diagnostic and prognostic value of CLEC4M in NSCLC, as well as its potential serve as an immune-related therapeutic target.
