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

objectiveTo explore the mutated genes in esophageal cancer (ESCA), and evaluate its relationship with tumor mutation burden (TMB) and prognosis of ESCA, and analyze the advantages of FAT3 as a potential prognostic marker in ESCA.

methodsThe somatic mutation landscape was analyzed according to ESCA samples from the TCGA and ICGC database. The differences of TMB between mutant type and wild type of frequently mutated genes were compared by Mann-Whitney U test. The association of gene mutations with prognosis was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method. The relative abundance of 22 tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte subsets in ESCA was calculated by CIBERSORT algorithm.

resultsFAT3 was a high frequency mutation in both TCGA and ICGC samples from the somatic mutation landscape. Then, the mutation type of FAT3 had significantly higher TMB in patients with ESCA compared the wild type (

conclusionsFAT3 mutation is related to TMB and poor prognosis in ESCA. FAT3 mutation may be a prognostic marker of ESCA, and reveal the potential mechanism of FAT3 mutation on ESCA.
