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

backgroundThis study aimed to explore the prognostic role of DNA methylation pattern in endometrial cancer (EC) patients.

methodsDifferentially methylated genes (DMGs) of EC patients with distinct survival from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database were analyzed to identify methylated genes as biomarkers for EC prognosis. The Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) analysis was used to construct a risk score model. A nomogram was built based on analysis combining the risk score model with clinicopathological signatures together, and then verified in the validation cohort and patients in our own center.

resultsIn total, 157 DMGs were identified between different prognostic groups. Based on the LASSO analysis, five genes (GBP4, OR8K3, GABRA2, RIPPLY2, and TRBV5-7) were screened for the establishment of risk score model. The model outperformed in prognostic accuracy at varying follow-up times (AUC for 3 years: 0.824, 5 years: 0.926, and 7 years: 0.853). Multivariate analysis identified four independent risk factors including menopausal status (HR = 3.006, 95%CI: 1.062-8.511, p = 0.038), recurrence (HR = 2.116, 95%CI: 1.061-4.379, p = 0.046), lymph node metastasis (LNM, HR = 3.465, 95%CI: 1.225-9.807, p = 0.019), and five-DNA methylation risk model (HR = 3.654, 95%CI: 1.458-9.161, p = 0.006) in training cohort. The performance of the nomogram was good in the training (AUC = 0.828), validation (AUC = 0.866) and the whole cohorts (AUC = 0.843). Furthermore, we verified the nomogram with 24 patients in our center and the Kaplan-Meier survival curve also proved to be significantly different (p < 0.01). The subgroup analysis in different stratifications indicated that the accuracy was high in different subgroups for age, histological type, tumor grade, and clinical stage (all p < 0.01).

conclusionsBriefly, our work established and verified a five-DNA methylation risk model, and a nomogram merging the model with clinicopathological characteristics to facilitate individual prediction of EC patients for clinicians.
