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

backgroundSerine protease inhibitors clade B serpins (SERPINBs) are the largest subclass of protease inhibitors, once thought of as a tumor suppressor gene family. However, some SERPINBs exhibit functions unrelated to the inhibition of catalytic activity.

methodsThe Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), Gene Set Cancer Analysis (GSCA), and cBioPortal databases were utilized to investigate SERPINBs expression, prognostic correlation, and genomic variation in 33 cancer types. We also conducted a comprehensive transcriptome analysis in multiple lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cohorts to reveal the molecular mechanism of SERPINB5 in LUAD. Then, qPCR and immunohistochemistry were used to verify the expression and prognostic value of SERPINB5 in LUAD patients. Furthermore, knockdown and overexpression of SERPINB5 in LUAD cell lines were performed to evaluate cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).

resultsThe expression of SERPINB5 was upregulated and demethylated in LUAD, and its abnormally high expression was significantly correlated with poor overall survival (OS). In addition, the expression of SERPINB5 was analyzed to determine its prognostic value in LUAD and confirmed that SERPINB5 was an independent predictor of LUAD in TCGA and GEO cohorts and qPCR validation with 106 clinical samples. At last, A knockdown of SERPINB5 in LUAD cells reduced proliferation, migration, and EMT. Proliferation, migration, and invasion are promoted by the overexpression of SERPINB5.

conclusionTherefore, SERPINB5 has shown potential as a prognostic biomarker for LUAD, and it may become a potential therapeutic target for lung adenocarcinoma.
