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

backgroundThe tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a critical role in tumorigenesis, development, and therapeutic efficacy. Major advances have been achieved in the treatment of various cancers through immunotherapy. Nevertheless, only a minority of patients have positive responses to immunotherapy, which is partly due to conditions of the immunosuppressive microenvironment. Therefore, it is essential to identify prognostic biomarkers that reflect heterogeneous landscapes of the TME. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Based upon the ESTIMATE algorithm, we evaluated the infiltrating levels of immune and stromal components derived from patients afflicted by various types of cancer from The Cancer Genome Atlas database (TCGA). According to respective patient immune and stromal scores, we categorized cases into high- and low-scoring subgroups for each cancer type to explore associations between TME and patient prognosis. Gene Set Enrichment Analyses (GSEA) were conducted and genes enriched in IFNγ response signaling pathway were selected to facilitate establishment of a risk model for predicting overall survival (OS). Furthermore, we investigated the associations between the prognostic signature and tumor immune infiltration landscape by using CIBERSORT algorithm and TIMER database.

resultsAmong the cancers assessed, the immune scores for skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) were the most significantly correlated with patients' survival time (P < .0001). We identified and validated a five-IFNγ response-related gene signature (UBE2L6, PARP14, IFIH1, IRF2, and GBP4), which was closely correlated with the prognosis for SKCM afflicted patients. Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that this risk model was an independent prognostic factor for SKCM. Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and specific immune checkpoint molecules had notably differential levels of expression in high- compared to low-risk samples.

conclusionIn this study, we established a novel five-IFNγ response-related gene signature that provided a better and increasingly comprehensive understanding of tumor immune landscape, and which demonstrated good performance in predicting outcomes for patients afflicted by SKCM.
