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

Although some pyroptosis-related (PR) prognostic models for cancers have been reported, pyroptosis-based features have not been fully discovered at the single-cell level in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, by deeply integrating single-cell and bulk transcriptome data, we systematically investigated significance of the shared pyroptotic signature at both single-cell and bulk levels in HCC prognosis. Based on the pyroptotic signature, a robust PR risk system was constructed to quantify the prognostic risk of individual patient. To further verify capacity of the pyroptotic signature on predicting patients' prognosis, an attention mechanism-based deep neural network classification model was constructed. The mechanisms of prognostic difference in the patients with distinct PR risk were dissected on tumor stemness, cancer pathways, transcriptional regulation, immune infiltration and cell communications. A nomogram model combining PR risk with clinicopathologic data was constructed to evaluate the prognosis of individual patients in clinic. The PR risk could also evaluate therapeutic response to neoadjuvant therapies in HCC patients. In conclusion, the constructed PR risk system enables a comprehensive assessment of tumor microenvironment characteristics, accurate prognosis prediction and rational therapeutic options in HCC.
