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

backgroundStomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) is one of the most prevalent malignances and ranks fifth in incidence and third in the cancer-related deaths among all malignances. The prognosis of STAD is poor. Immunotherapy based on immune checkpoint blockade is ever-increasingly suggested as the most promising therapy strategy for STAD. However, the prognosis and therapy value of immune checkpoints in STAD is far from clarified.

methodsIn our study, bioinformatics methods were performed to explore the expression and prognosis value of immune checkpoints in STAD and their association with immune infiltration. qRT-PCR was performed to verify our result.

resultsMost of the immune checkpoints were upregulated in STAD. There were lots of genetic mutations among immune checkpoints in STAD, including missense_mutation, frame_shift_del et al. Interestingly, most of immune checkpoints were associated with drug sensitivity and drug resistance. Moreover, CD274, PVR, LGALS9, ICOSLG and CD70 were associated with the overall survival, post progression survival and first progression in STAD. The univariate and multivariate analysis revealed that CD70, ICOSLG, age, pTNM stage, and radiation therapy were independent factors affecting the prognosis of STAD patients. The expression of ICOSLG and CD70 was correlated with immune cells as well as immune biomarkers, including CD8+ T cells, CD4+ T cells, macrophage, neutrophils and dendritic cells.

conclusionAll in all, our study performed a comprehensive analysis of the prognostic value and immune function of immune checkpoints in STAD, and our result suggested that immune checkpoint ICOSLG and CD70 serve as prognostic biomarkers and associate with immune infiltration in STAD.
