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

backgroundHuman leukocyte antigen class I (HLA-I) plays a pivotal role in shaping anti-tumour immunity by influencing the functionality of T cells and natural killer (NK) cells within the tumour microenvironment.

methodsHere, we explored the transcriptional landscape of HLA-I molecules across various solid cancer transcriptomes from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and assessed the impact of HLA-I expression on the clinical significance of tumour-infiltrating CD56

resultsOur analysis revealed that high HLA-I expression correlated with reduced patient survival in the TCGA lower-grade glioma (LGG) cohort, with this association varying by histopathological subtype. We then estimated the relative abundance of 23 immune and stromal cell signatures in LGG transcriptomes using a cellular deconvolution approach, which revealed that LGG patients with low HLA-I expression and high CD56

conclusionsOverall, our study unveils a potential role for deregulated HLA-I expression in modulating the clinical impact of glioma-infiltrating CD56
