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

Metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of malignancy. Understanding the characteristics of metabolic reprogramming in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) helps uncover novel targets for cancer progression. In this study, 880 metabolism-related genes were identified from microarray data and then filtered to divide patients into two subgroups using consensus clustering, which exhibits significantly different overall survival. After a differential analysis between two subtypes, 3 genes were screened out to construct a two subtypes decision model on the training cohort (GSE53624), defined as high-risk and low-risk subtypes. These risk models were then verified in two public databases (GSE53622 and TCGA-ESCC), an independent cohort of 49 ESCC patients by RT-qPCR and an external cohort of 95 ESCC patients by immunohistochemistry analysis (IHC). Furthermore, the immune cell infiltration of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and plasma cells showed a significant difference between the high and low-risk subtypes in the IHC experiment with 119 ESCC patients. In conclusion, our study indicated that three metabolism-related prognostic genes could stratify patients into subgroups and were associated with immune infiltration, clinical features and clinical outcomes.
