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

backgroundSarcomas (SARCs) are rare malignant tumors with poor prognosis. Increasing evidence has suggested that aberrant alternative splicing (AS) is strongly associated with tumor initiation and progression. We considered whether survival-related AS events might serve as prognosis predictors and underlying targeted molecules in SARC treatment.

methodsRNA-Seq data of the SARC cohort were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Survival-related AS events were selected by univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. Metascape was used for constructing a gene interaction network and performing functional enrichment analysis. Then, prognosis predictors were established based on statistically significant survival-related AS events and evaluated by receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Finally, the potential regulatory network was analyzed via Pearson's correlation between survival-related AS events and splicing factors (SFs).

resultsA total of 3,610 AS events and 2,291 genes were found to be prognosis-related in 261 SARC samples. The focal adhesion pathway was identified as the most critical molecular mechanism corresponding to poor prognosis. Notably, several prognosis predictors based on survival-related AS events showed excellent performance in prognosis prediction. The area under the curve of the ROC of the risk score was 0.85 in the integrated predictor. The splicing network proved complicated regulation between prognosis-related SFs and AS events. Also, driver gene mutations were significantly associated with AS in SARC patients.

conclusionsSurvival-related AS events may become ideal indictors for the prognosis prediction of SARCs. Corresponding splicing regulatory mechanisms are worth further exploration.
