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

The recent elucidation of disulfidptosis, a unique form of cell death, has opened new paths for the development of targeted cancer therapies. However, a thorough examination of disulfidptosis-related genes (DRGs) across various cancer types has been lacking. Our extensive analysis of DRGs through genomic, transcriptional, and immune profiling has yielded substantial insights. Utilizing The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), we have identified key changes in gene expression, including alterations in copy number and DNA methylation, and evaluated their impact on cancer prognosis. We constructed a disulfidptosis-related signature (DFRS) using LASSO regression and multivariate Cox regression analysis, which demonstrated a strong prognostic connection across diverse cancer types. The DFRS score is linked with poorer clinical outcomes, reflects the immune characteristics of the tumor microenvironment (TME), and predicts responsiveness to immunotherapy and other treatments. Notably, the DFRS score interacts with critical oncogenic pathways, highlighting the potential benefits of targeting disulfidptosis in cancer treatment. Our findings underscore the critical influence of disulfidptosis on cancer prognosis and therapeutic response, offering meaningful clinical insights.
