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

Pancreatic cancer (PAAD) is one of the most malignant cancers and immune microenvironment has been proved to be involved in pathogenesis of PAAD. m6A modification, related to the expression of m6A regulators, participates in the development of multiple cancers. However, the correlation between m6A regulators and immune microenvironment was largely unknown in PAAD. And because of the small sample size of pancreatic cancer in the TCGA database, it is not enough to draw a convincing conclusion. In the present study, we downloaded seven pancreatic cancer datasets with survival data and removed batch effects among these datasets to be used as the PAAD cohort to analyze the immune landscape of PAAD and the expression pattern of m6A regulators and divided the integrated dataset into cluster 1 and cluster 2 by consensus clustering for m6A regulators. Lower m6A regulators were found to be related to higher immune cell infiltration and a better survival. Moreover, we identified six m6A regulators and constructed the prognostic signature of m6A regulators. Patients with low-risk score had a higher response to immune checkpoint inhibitor and a longer overall survival. To figure out the underlying mechanism, we analyzed the cancer immunity cycle, most altered genes, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and gene set variation analysis (GSVA) in risk subtypes. In summary, the present study proved m6A regulators modulated the PAAD immune microenvironment. And risk scores served as predictive indicator for immunotherapy and played a prognostic role for PAAD patients. Our study provided novel therapeutic targets to improve immunotherapy efficacy.
