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

backgroundSquamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a disease with distinct management complexities as it displays a remarkably heterogeneous molecular subtype. However, the landscape of angiogenesis for SCC is not fully investigated. METHOD AND MATERIALS: The angiogenesis-related subtypes of SCC were established by using the ConsensusClusterPlus package based on angiogenesis-related genes and TCGA data. We analyzed the alteration of genes and miRNAs as well as pathways associated with angiogenesis subtypes. Next, the regulation network, the correlation with genomic characteristics, immune microenvironment, and clinical features of the angiogenesis subtypes were further investigated. Finally, the prognostic impact of the angiogenesis-related subtypes for SCC was also analyzed.

resultsA total of 1368 SCC samples were included in this study. Two angiogenesis subtypes were then identified based on the one hundred and sixty-three angiogenesis-related genes with subtype1 (angiogenesis subtype) of 951 SCC patients and subtype2 (non-angiogenesis subtype) of 417 SCC. GSEA revealed that angiogenesis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition, inflammatory response, and hypoxia were enriched in the angiogenesis subtype. Eight of the 15 immune checkpoints (ADORA2A, BTLA, CD276, CYBB, HAVCR2, SIGLEC7, SIGLEC9, and VTCN1) were significantly upregulated while C10orf54 were significantly downregulated in the angiogenesis subtype. The survival analysis revealed that the patients in the angiogenesis subtype have poorer survival outcomes than those in the non-angiogenesis subtype (P = 0.017 for disease-free interval and P = 0.00013 for overall survival).

conclusionOur analysis revealed a novel angiogenesis subtype classification in SCC and provides new insights into a hallmark of SCC progression.
