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

backgroundPancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a malignant tumor with high heterogeneity and poor prognosis. In this study, we sought to identify the value of platelet-related genes in prognosis and heterogeneity of PDAC through multiple transcriptomic methods.

methodsBased on datasets from Gene Expression Omnibus and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), platelet-related genes were screened out, and the TCGA cohort (n = 171) was identified into two subtypes by unsupervised clustering. The platelet-related risk score model (PLRScore) was constructed by univariate Cox and LASSO regression, and the predictive ability was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier test and time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The results were validated in two other external validation sets, ICGC-CA (n = 140) and GSE62452 (n = 66). Furthermore, predictive nomogram containing clinical characteristics and PLRScore was established. In addition, we determined the possible correlation between PLRScore and immune infiltration and response of immunotherapy. Finally, we analyzed the heterogeneity of our signature in various types of cells using single-cell analysis.

resultsPlatelet-related subtypes that have significant difference of overall survival and immune states (p < 0.05) were identified. PLRScore model based on four-gene signature (CEP55, LAMA3, CA12, SCN8A) was constructed to predict patient prognosis. The AUCs of training cohort were 0.697, 0.687 and 0.675 for 1-, 3-and 5-year, respectively. Further evaluation of the validation cohorts yielded similar results. In addition, PLRScore was associated with immune cell infiltration and immune checkpoint expression, and had promising ability to predict response to immunotherapy of PDAC.

conclusionsIn this study, the platelet-related subtypes were identified and the four-gene signature was constructed and validated. It may provide new insights into the therapeutic decision-making and molecular targets of PDAC.
