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

objectiveOur purpose was to develop and verify an immune-related signature for predicting recurrence risk of patients with laryngeal cancer.

methodsRNA-seq data of 51 recurrence and 81 non-recurrence laryngeal cancer samples were downloaded from TCGA database, as the training set. Microarray data of 34 recurrence and 75 non-recurrence cancer samples were obtained from GEO dataset, as the validation set. Single factor cox regression was utilized to screen prognosis-related immune genes. After LASSO regression analysis, an immune-related signature was constructed. Recurrence free survival (RFS) between high- and low- recurrence risk patients was presented, followed by ROC. We also evaluated the correlation between immune infiltration and the signature using the CIBERSORT algorithm. The genes in the signature were validated in laryngeal cancer tissues by western blot or RT-qPCR. After RCN1 knockdown, migration and invasion of laryngeal cancer cells were investigated.

resultsTotally, 43 prognosis-related immune genes were identified for laryngeal cancer. Among them, eight genes were used for constructing a prognostic signature. High risk group exhibited a higher recurrence risk than low risk group. The AUC for 1-year was separately 0.803 and 0.715 in the training and verification sets, suggesting its well efficacy for predicting the recurrence. Furthermore, this signature was closely related to distinct immune cell infiltration. RCN1, DNAJA2, LASP1 and IBSP were up-regulated in laryngeal cancer. RCN1 knockdown restrained migrated and invasive abilities of laryngeal cancer cells.

conclusionOur findings identify a reliable immune-related signature that can predict the recurrence risk of patients with laryngeal cancer.
