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

Background: The incidence of cutaneous melanoma (CM) is increasing, and its prognosis is not optimistic. Although immune checkpoint (ICP) inhibitors are effective in the treatment of CM patients, they are not effective for all CM patients. There is an urgent need for a marker to predict both the prognosis and the immunotherapy effect in patients with CM. Approaches: Two groups of patients with greatly different prognosis and response to immunotherapy were identified by unwatched cluster exploration of TCGA on the basis of 34 ICPs. The prognosis and immunotherapy effect of CM were predicted by developing a precise and given signature on the basis of ICPs, and a multivariate Cox risk regression model was established from the TCGA cohort consisting of 454 CM samples. The model was validated in 210 and 231 samples in the test and verification cohorts, respectively. Results: The prognosis in clinical subgroups was predicted by the classification system. High-risk patients had poorer responses to chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Finally, the signature was recognized as an independent prognostic factor. Based on checkpoint-based signature (ICPBS) and clinical characteristics, we constructed a nomogram for the prognosis in patients with CM, which was superior to ICPBS in efficacy than ICPBS alone. Conclusion: As a useful prognostic tool to further improve cancer immunotherapy, the signature can accurately predict recurrence and overall survival among patients with CM.
