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: Neuropilin-1 (NRP1) is a significant molecular structure that participates in many diseases progress including malignant tumors. However, its role in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remains to be uncovered. In this study, we determined the function of NRP1 as a crucial biomarker in proliferation, metastasis and immunosuppression in HNSCC. Methods: We collected samples of normal tissues (n = 18) and HNSCC tissues (n = 202) for immunohistochemical staining of NRP1 and evaluated its correlation to clinical prognostic characteristics. Furthermore, we enrolled 37 HNSCC patients received immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) treatment with defined therapeutic effects records. The biological process, signal pathways, and immune infiltration relevance to NRP1 were analyzed utilized transcriptome data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Results: The NRP1 protein expression was significantly upregulated in HNSCC tissue and was associated with T stage, N stage, histological differentiation, recurrence and NRP1 expression. The high expression of NRP1 indicated poor survival rate and was found to be an independent prognosis factor. Enrichment analysis showed that NRP1 was associated with cell adhesion, extracellular matrix organization, homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane in biological process and neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction, protein digestion and absorption, calcium signal pathways. Moreover, NRP1 mRNA level was found positively correlated to cancer associated fibroblast cells, Treg cells and macrophage/monocyte cells. Conclusion: NRP1 might be likely to develop into a potential immunoregulation target as well as a predictive biomarker in HNSCC immune treatment.
