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 latest research confirms that cytotoxic lymphocytes rely on pyroptosis to kill tumor cells, suggesting that pyroptosis plays a vital role in immune response. However, the influence of pyroptosis on tumor microenvironment (TME) remodeling and immunotherapy is still unclear. We analyzed the variations in the expression of 28 pyroptosis-related molecules in pan-cancer tissues and normal tissues and the influence of genome changes. We investigated 2,214 bladder cancer samples and determined that there are three pyroptosis phenotypes in bladder cancer, and there are significant differences in cell infiltration characteristics in different pyroptosis phenotypes. Phenotypes with high expression of pyroptosis-related molecules are "hot tumors" with better immune function. We used a principal component analysis to measure the level of pyroptosis in patients with PyroScore, and confirmed that the PyroScore can predict the prognosis of bladder cancer patients, the sensitivity of the immune phenotype to chemotherapy, and the response to immunotherapy. Patients with a high PyroScore are more sensitive to chemotherapeutics such as cisplatin and gemcitabine, and have a better prognosis (HR = 0.7; 95%CI = 0.51-0.97, P = 0.041). Our study suggests a significant correlation between the expression imbalance of pyroptosis-related molecules and genome variation in various cancers and suggests pyroptosis plays an important role in modeling the TME. Evaluating pyroptosis modification patterns contributes to enhancing our understanding of TME infiltration and can guide more effective immunotherapy strategies.
