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

backgroundWe performed an integrative genomic and transcriptomic profiling to identify molecular subtypes and prognostic markers with special focus on immune-related pathways.

methodsTotally, 50 Chinese patients were subjected to targeted next-generation sequencing and transcriptomic sequencing.

resultsTwo distinct subgroups were identified as immune (22.0%) and non-immune (78.0%) based on the immune-pathway related hierarchical clustering. Surprisingly, patients with immune subtype had a significantly worse survival. The prognostic capacity was validated in external cohorts. The immune group had higher expression of genes involved in pro-inflammation and checkpoints. PD-1 signalling pathway was enriched in the immune subtype. Besides, the immune cluster presented enriched expression of genes involved in epithelial-mesenchymal transition, angiogenesis and PI3K-AKT-mTOR signalling, while the non-immune subtype had higher expression of metabolic pathways. The immune subtype had a higher mutation rate of PIK3CA though significance was not achieved. Lastly, we established a prognostic immune signature for overall survival. Interestingly, the immune signature could also be applied to renal clear cell carcinoma, but not to other histologic subtype of ovarian cancer.

conclusionsAn immune subtype of OCCC was identified with poor survival and enrichment of PD-1 and PI3K-AKT-mTOR signalling. We constructed and validated a robust prognostic immune signature of OCCC patients.
