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

Melanoma is the most invasive type of skin cancer, in which the immune system plays a vital role. In this study, we aimed to establish a prognostic prediction nomogram for melanoma patients that incorporates immune-related genes (IRGs). Ninety-seven differentially expressed IRGs between melanoma and normal skin were screened using gene expression omnibus database (GEO). Among these IRGs, a two-gene signature consisting of CCL8 and DEFB1 was found to be closely associated with patient prognosis using the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) database. Survival analysis verified that the IRGs score based on the signature gene expressions efficiently distinguished between high- and low-risk patients, and was identified to be an independent prognostic factor. A nomogram integrating the IRGs score, age and TNM stage was established to predict individual prognosis for melanoma. The prognostic performance was validated by the TCGA/GEO-based concordance indices and calibration plots. The area under the curve demonstrated that the nomogram was superior than the conventional staging system, which was confirmed by the decision curve analysis. Overall, we developed and validated a nomogram for prognosis prediction in melanoma based on IRGs signatures and clinical parameters, which could be valuable for decision making in the clinic.
