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

backgroundImmune-related snoRNAs remain largely uncharacterized in cancer.

methodsWe comprehensively investigated their functions and clinical relevance through an integrative pan-cancer analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) datasets. We systematically identified immune-related snoRNAs via partial correlation with immune pathways and GSEA, validated their functions in vitro, and performed molecular subtyping in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC).

resultsWe established a comprehensive landscape of immune-related snoRNAs associated with core immune pathways, the majority of which were dysregulated across cancers and correlated with tumor immune cell infiltration. Functional screening revealed that numerous immune-related snoRNAs were aberrantly expressed in cancer stem cells; notably, SNORD116-19 potently suppressed breast cancer stemness and metastasis. Using a panel of immune-related snoRNAs, we classified NSCLC into three molecular subtypes with distinct molecular features and immune microenvironments, suggesting divergent immunotherapy response patterns. This classification framework was successfully extrapolated to HNSC.

conclusionsOur findings suggest that immune-related snoRNAs may serve as potential regulators linking tumor progression and immunity and could be explored as candidate biomarkers for molecular subtyping with the potential to inform personalized immunotherapy strategies.
