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

Identifying perturbed pathways at an individual level is important to discover the causes of cancer and develop individualized custom therapeutic strategies. Though prognostic gene lists have had success in prognosis prediction, using single genes that are related to the relevant system or specific network cannot fully reveal the process of tumorigenesis. We hypothesize that in individual samples, the disruption of transcription homeostasis can influence the occurrence, development, and metastasis of tumors and has implications for patient survival outcomes. Here, we introduced the individual-level pathway score, which can measure the correlation perturbation of the pathways in a single sample well. We applied this method to the expression data of 16 different cancer types from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Our results indicate that different cancer types as well as their tumor-adjacent tissues can be clearly distinguished by the individual-level pathway score. Additionally, we found that there was strong heterogeneity among different cancer types and the percentage of perturbed pathways as well as the perturbation proportions of tumor samples in each pathway were significantly different. Finally, the prognosis-related pathways of different cancer types were obtained by survival analysis. We demonstrated that the individual-level pathway score (iPS) is capable of classifying cancer types and identifying some key prognosis-related pathways.
