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

Background: Skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) is the deadliest type of cutaneous malignancy. Ubiquitination is a process of protein sorting and degradation that exhibits multiple functions in the progression of various tumors. This study aimed to characterize a set of genes for ubiquitination in SKCM. Methods: The expression patterns of ubiquitin-associated genes (URGs) and the corresponding clinical information in SKCM tissues were comprehensively analyzed based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. We performed univariate and multivariate Cox proportional regression models to characterize the risk scores and identify four critical genes related to prognostic ubiquitination (HCLS1, CORO1A, NCF1 and CCRL2), which were used to construct the prognostic signatures. We also studied the effects of HCLS1, CORO1A and CCRL2 on tumor metastasis-related indicators at the cellular level through Results: SKCM patients in the low-risk group showing a longer survival than those in the high-risk group. Characteristic risk scores correlated with several clinicopathological variables and reflected the infiltration of multiple immune cells. In addition, the knockdown of CLS1, CORO1A and CCRL2 affected cellular malignant biological behavior through the EMT signaling pathway. Conclusion: This study provides a novel and prospective strategy to improve the clinical survival of SKCM patients.
