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/purpose: Analysis of methylomes may enable prognostic stratification in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). This study aimed to identify methylation-related differentially expressed genes (mrDEGs), and to assess their efficacy in predicting patients' survival, tumor immune microenvironment alterations and immune checkpoints in patients with HNSCC. Materials and methods: The methylome and transcriptome data of 528 HNSCC and 50 normal samples from TCGA database were used as training cohort. We identified mrDEGs and constituted a risk score model using Kaplan-Meier analysis and multivariate Cox regression. The prognostic efficacy of the risk score was validated in GSE65858 and GSE41613. We determined the enrichment of previously defined biological processes of mrDEGs. We separated the HNSCC patients into low-risk and high-risk groups and compared their immune cell infiltration and immune checkpoints' expressions. Results: The risk score model was constituted by nine prognostic mrDEGs, including Conclusion: The mrDEGs can stratify HNSCC patients' prognosis, which correlates with alterations in tumor immune infiltrations and immune checkpoints.
