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: PERP, a member of the peripheral myelin protein gene family, is a new therapeutic target in cancer. The relationships between PERP and immune cell infiltration in lung cancer have not been studied. Therefore, the role of PERP in the tumour microenvironment (TME) of lung cancer needs to be further explored. Methods: In this study, we explored the association between PERP expression and clinical characteristics by analysing data from the TCGA database. Cox regression and Kaplan‒Meier methods were used to investigate the relationship between the expression of PERP and overall survival in patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). The relationship between PERP expression and the degree of infiltration of specific immune cell subsets in LUAD was evaluated using the TIMER database and GEPIA. We also performed GO enrichment analysis and KEGG enrichment analysis to reveal genes coexpressed with PERP using the Coexpedia database. Finally, we verified the expression and function of PERP in LUAD tissues and the A549 cell line by RT‒PCR, Western blot, CCK-8, IHC, and wound healing assays. The mouse model was used to study the in vivo effects of PERP. Results: According to our results, PERP expression was significantly higher in LUAD tissues and associated with the clinical characteristics of the disease. Survival was independently associated with PERP in LUAD patients. We further verified that PERP might regulate B-cell infiltration in LUAD to affect the prognosis of LUAD. To identify PERP-related signalling pathways in LUAD, we performed a genome-aggregation analysis (GSEA) between low and high PERP expression datasets. LUAD cells express higher levels of PERP than paracarcinoma cells, and PERP inhibits the proliferation and metastasis of A549 cells through apoptosis. Conclusion: PERP may affect the prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma by inhibiting apoptosis and is associated with immune cell infiltration.
