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

Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) plays a complex role in modulating tumor microenvironment during lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) development. In order to define the role of IFN-γ response genes in LUAD progression, we characterized the gene expression, mutation profile, protein-protein interaction of 24 IFN-γ response genes, which exhibited significant hazard ratio in overall survival. Two subgroups of LUAD from the TCGA cohort, which showed significant difference in the survival rate, were identified based on the expression of these genes. Furthermore, LASSO penalized cox regression model was used to derive a risk signature comprising seven IFN-γ response genes, including CD74, CSF2RB, PTPN6, MT2A, NMI, LATS2, and PFKP, which can serve as an independent prognostic predictor of LUAD. The risk signature was validated in an independent LUAD cohort. The high risk group is enriched with genes regulating cell cycle and DNA replication, as well as a high level of pro-tumor immune cells. In addition, the risk score is negatively correlated with the expression of immune metagenes, but positively correlated with DNA damage repair genes. Our findings reveal that seven-gene risk signature can be a valuable prognostic predictor for LUAD, and they are crucial participants in tumor microenvironment of LUAD.
