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: Lung cancer is the most common malignant tumor in the world, and its prognosis is still not optimistic. The aim of this study was to establish an immune-related gene (IRG) prognostic index (IRGPI) for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) based on IRGs, and to explore the prognosis, molecular and immune features, and response to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy in IRGPI-classified different subgroups of LUAD. Methods: Based on the LUAD transcriptome RNA-sequencing data in TCGA database, the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were selected. Subsequently, DEGs were intersected with IRGs to obtain differentially expressed immune-related genes (DEIRGs). Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) identified hub genes in DEIRGs. Finally, univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to build an IRGPI model. Subsequently, TCGA patients were divided into high- and low-risk groups, and the survival of patients in different groups was further analyzed. Besides, we validated the molecular and immune characteristics, relationship with immune checkpoints, angiogenesis-related genes, and immune subtypes distribution in different subgroups. Meanwhile, we further validated the response to ICI therapy in different subgroups. Results: The IRGPI was constructed based on 13 DEIRGs. Compared with the low-risk group, overall survival (OS) was lower in the high-risk group, and the high-risk score was independently associated with poorer OS. Besides, the high-risk score was associated with cell cycle pathway, high mutation rate of Conclusions: IRGPI is a prospective biomarker based on IRGs that can distinguish high- and low-risk groups to predict patient prognosis, help characterize the tumor immune microenvironment, and evaluate the benefit of ICI therapy in LUAD.
