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 occurrence of cancer is closely related to the deregulation of certain pathways. Based on pathway deregulation scores (PDS) inferred by the Pathifier algorithm, we analyzed transcriptomic data of 13 different cancer types in The Cancer Genome Atlas database to identify cancer-specific deregulated pathways and prognostic pathways. The results showed that the individual-specific pathway deregulation scores can clearly distinguish different cancer types and their tumor-adjacent tissues. In addition, the cancer-specific deregulated pathways and prognostic pathways of different cancer types had high heterogeneity, and the identified cancer prognostic pathways have been reported to be closely related to the corresponding cancers. Furthermore, we also found that cancers with more deregulation pathways tend to be malignant and have worse prognoses. Finally, a Cox proportional Hazards model was constructed based on the prognostic pathways; this model successfully predicted survival and prognosis based on data from cancer samples. In addition, the performance of the breast cancer prognostic model was validated with an independent data set in the METABRIC database. Therefore, the prognostic pathways we identified have the potential to become targets for the treatment of cancer.
