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

backgroundEfferocytosis (ER) refers to the process of phagocytic clearance of programmed dead cells, and studies have shown that it is closely related to tumor immune escape.

methodsThis study was based on a comprehensive analysis of TCGA, GEO and CTRP databases. ER-related genes were collected from previous literature, univariate Cox regression was performed and consistent clustering was performed to categorize lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients into two subgroups. Lasso regression and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to construct ER-related prognostic features, and multiple immune infiltration algorithms were used to assess the correlation between the extracellular burial-related risk score (ERGRS) and tumor microenvironment (TME). And the key gene HAVCR1 was identified by deep learning, etc. Finally, pan-cancer analysis of the key genes was performed and in vitro experiments were conducted to verify the promotional effect of HAVCR1 on LUAD progression.

resultsA total of 33 ER-related genes associated with the prognosis of LUAD were identified, and the prognostic signature of ERGRS was successfully constructed to predict the overall survival (OS) and treatment response of LUAD patients. The high-risk group was highly enriched in some oncogenic pathways, while the low-ERGRS group was highly enriched in some immune-related pathways. In addition, the high ERGRS group had higher TMB, TNB and TIDE scores and lower immune scores. The low-risk group had better immunotherapeutic response and less likelihood of immune escape. Drug sensitivity analysis revealed that BRD-K92856060, monensin and hexaminolevulinate may be potential therapeutic agents for the high-risk group. And ERGRS was validated in several cohorts. In addition, HAVCR1 is one of the key genes, and knockdown of HAVCR1 in vitro significantly reduced the proliferation, migration and invasion ability of lung adenocarcinoma cells.

conclusionOur study developed a novel prognostic signature of efferocytosis-related genes. This prognostic signature accurately predicted survival prognosis as well as treatment outcome in LUAD patients and explored the role of HAVCR1 in lung adenocarcinoma progression.
