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

Purpose: Elucidation of the potential value of ribosomal protein S27a (RPS27A) for prognosis and immunotherapy in pan-cancer analysis, and exploration of the oncogenic function of RPS27A on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and macrophage polarization. Methods: A systematic analysis of the function and mechanism of RPS27A was conducted with R software and multiple public platforms, including UALCAN, HPA, TISIDB, TIMER, cBioPortal, cancerSEA, TIDE, and TIMSO databases. The RPS27A expression in human and mouse liver was detected by immunohistochemistry. The biological behavior of HCC cells was detected in vitro after RPS27A overexpression. The influence of RPS27A on macrophage polarization was detected by the coculturing assay. Results: RPS27A dysregulation was found in multiple cancer types, and RPS27A level was associated with clinicopathologic features and prognosis in human cancers. RPS27A affected cancer statuses and multiple signaling pathways, such as DNA repair, invasion, IL10 synthesis, and MAPK activation. RPS27A took part in regulations of genomic alterations and heterogeneity and was associated with tumor mutation burden, microsatellite instability, neoantigen and so on. RPS27A expression was connected to the immune subtypes, tumor purity and immune cell infiltration and participated in regulation of the immunotherapy response. RPS27A was upregulated in HCC tissues compared to normal liver tissues. RPS27A overexpression in HCC cells promoted the proliferation, migration, and invasion of cancer cells, and accelerated M2 polarization of macrophage. Conclusion: RPS27A had the potential to be a biomarker for diagnosis, prognosis and immunotherapy response in pan-cancer, and targeting RPS27A may provide new ideas for cancer immunotherapy.
