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

Immunotherapy is the most promising treatment for uveal melanoma patients with metastasis. Tumor microenvironment plays an essential role in tumor progression and greatly affects the efficacy of immunotherapy. This research constructed an immune-related subtyping system and discovered immune prognostic genes to further understand the immune mechanism in uveal melanoma. Immune-related genes were determined from literature. Gene expression profiles of uveal melanoma were clustered using consensus clustering based on immune-related genes. Subtypes were further divided by applying immune landscape, and weighted correlation network analysis was performed to construct immune gene modules. Univariate Cox regression analysis was conducted to generate a prognostic model. Enriched immune cells were determined after gene set enrichment analysis. Three major immune subtypes (IS1, IS2, and IS3) were identified, and IS2 could be further divided into IS2A and IS2B. The subtypes were closely associated with uveal melanoma prognosis. IS3 group had the most favorable prognosis and was sensitive to PD-1 inhibitor. Immune genes in IS1 group showed an overall higher expression than IS3 group. Six immune gene modules were identified, and the enrichment score of immune genes varied within immune subtypes. Four immune prognostic genes (
