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

The interplay between autophagy and ferroptosis has been highlighted as an important event to decide cancer cell fate. However, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unclear. In this study, we systematically explored the expression, prognostic value and functional roles of lncRNA in autophagy and ferroptosis. By a set of bioinformatics analyses, we identified 363 autophagy- and ferroptosis-related lncRNAs (AF-lncRNAs) and found 17 of them are dramatically related to the prognosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC) patients, named as prognosis-related AF-lncRNAs (PAF-lncRNAs). Based on six key PAF-lncRNAs, a risk score model was developed and used to categorize the TCGA-retrieved HNSC patients into two groups (high-risk vs. low-risk). Functional analysis showed the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the two groups were mainly enriched in immune-related pathways and regulated by a PAF-lncRNA-directed ceRNA (competitive endogenous RNA) network. Combined with a variety of immune infiltration analyses, we also found a decreased landscape of immune cell infiltration in high-risk groups. Together, by revealing PAF-lncRNAs with tumor prognostic features functioned through immune-related pathways, our work would contribute to show the pathogenesis of a lncRNA-directed interplay among autophagy, ferroptosis and tumor immunity in HNSC and to develop potential prognostic biomarkers and targets for tumor immunotherapy.
