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

backgroundMetabolic disturbance is closely correlated with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHCC), and we aimed to identify metabolic gene marker for the prognosis of IHCC.

methodsWe obtained expression and clinical data from 141 patients with IHCC from public databases. Prognostic metabolic genes were selected using univariate Cox regression analysis. Unsupervised cluster analysis was applied to identify IHCC subtypes, and CIBERSORT was used for immune infiltration analysis of different subtypes. Then, the metabolic gene signature was screened using multivariate Cox regression analysis and the LASSO algorithm. The prognostic potential and regulatory network of the metabolic gene signature were further investigated.

resultsWe screened 228 prognosis-related metabolic genes. Based on their expression levels, IHCC samples were divided into two subtypes, which showed significant differences in survival and immune cell infiltration. After LASSO analysis, eight metabolic genes including CYP19A1, SCD5, ACOT8, SRD5A3, MOGAT2, PFKFB3, PPARGC1B, and RPL17 were identified as the optimal genes for the prognosis signature. The prognostic model had excellent predictive abilities, with areas under the receiver-operating characteristic curves over 0.8. A nomogram model was also established based on two independent prognostic clinical factors (pathologic stage and prognostic model), and the generated calibration curves and c-indexes determined its excellent accuracy and discriminative ability to predict 1- and 5-year survival status (c-indexes>0.7). Finally, we found that miR-26a-5p, miR-27a-3p, and miR-27b-3p were the upstream regulators that mediate the involvement of gene signatures in metabolic pathways.

conclusionWe developed eight metabolic gene signatures to predict IHCC prognosis and proposed potential upstream regulatory axes of gene signatures.
