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

purposeAutophagy plays a crucial role in the initiation and progression of gastric cancer (GC). However, the role of autophagy-related lncRNAs in GC remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of the autophagy-related lncRNA signature and its role in the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) of GC.

methodsRNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) and clinical data of GC patients were extracted from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to identify the autophagy-related lncRNA prognostic signature which was validated in the test set and entire set. The survival and predictive performance were analyzed based on the Kaplan-Meier and ROC curves. Furthermore, the CIBERSORT algorithm was applied to explore the relationship between this signature and the immune cell infiltration. To elucidate the potential functions of autophagy-related lncRNAs in GC, we constructed the lncRNA-mRNA co-expression network and performed enrichment analysis. Principal component analysis (PCA) and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) were further performed to compare the different statuses between the high-risk and low-risk groups.

resultsWe identified 5 autophagy-related lncRNAs (AL355574.1, AC010768.2, AP000695.2, AC087286.2, and HAGLR) to construct a prognostic signature. This signature could be an independent prognostic indicator for GC patients and had a higher prediction efficiency than other clinicopathological parameters. Furthermore, patients in the high-risk score group had a stronger immunosuppressive microenvironment than the low-risk group. The enrichment analysis for mRNAs co-expressed with these lncRNAs indicated that autophagy-related signaling pathways were remarkably enriched. PCA and GSEA further revealed different autophagy and immune statuses in the high- and low-risk groups.

conclusionThe 5 autophagy-related lncRNA signature has significant clinical implications in prognosis prediction of GC. Meanwhile, our study elucidates the critical role of the autophagy-related lncRNA signature in the TIME of GC.
