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

backgroundEven today, thyroid cancer (THCA) remains an important threat to global health. For THCA patients, differentiated thyroid cancer is the most commonly identified pathological subtype, and those diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer generally have good overall prognosis. For poorly differentiated subtype THCA, patients have aggressive disease course, higher risk of distant organ metastasis and inferior overall prognosis.

methodsRNA-seq data from TCGA and GTEx databases are collected and analyzed via R. The correlation between SEMA6B expression level and pathological as well as clinical parameters of THCA patients was respectively investigated. Gene expression profiling and subsequent functional clustering analysis was the performed utilizing GSEA. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was utilized to evaluate the diagnostic value of SEMA6B expression.

resultsIncreased SEMA6B expression was characteristic in THCA tumor samples and was associated with specific pathologic and clinical features for TCHA patients. Univariate and multivariate analysis indicated that SEMA6B was independent predictive marker for THCA patients' prognosis. Gene expression profiling and functional clustering analysis suggested that SEMA6B high-expression was related with increased expression of multiple signal pathways and signatures of multiple immune cell infiltration.

conclusionsIn this study, through bioinformatic analysis and clinical data investigation, we demonstrated the potential value of SEMA6B as diagnostic and prognostic marker in THCA patient treatment.
