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

purposeLung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the predominant subtype of lung cancer, with increasing evidence showing clinical benefits of immunotherapy. However, a lack of integrated profiles of complex LUAD immune microenvironments hampers the application of immunotherapy, resulting in limited eligible patient populations as well as drug resistance problems. Here, we aimed to systematically profile the immune signatures of LUADs and to assess the role of the immune microenvironment in patient outcome.

methodsWe systematically profiled the immune signatures of LUADs deposited in the TCGA and GEO databases using a total of 730 immune-related genes. Differential expression analysis was used to identify dysregulated genes. Univariate Cox analysis followed by robust likelihood-based survival analysis and multivariate Cox analysis were applied to construct an immune-related prognostic model.

resultsWe found that differentially expressed immune genes were mainly enriched in immune cell proliferation, migration, activation and the NF-κB and TNF signaling pathways. The 10-immune gene predictive model that we constructed could differentiate LUAD patients with different overall survival times in several datasets, with areas under the curve (AUCs) of 0.67, 0.69, 0.72 and 0.74. LUAD patients with high- or low-risk scores exhibited distinct immune cell compositions, which may explain the prognostic significance of our model.

conclusionsOur results add to the current knowledge of immune processes in LUADs and underscore the critical role of the immune microenvironment in LUAD patient outcome.
