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

backgroundThis study applied a complex bioinformatics analysis to explore the hub regulators and immune network to further elucidate the molecular mechanisms of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) immune regulation.

methodsLUAD immunological microenvironment features and microenvironment-related differential expression genes (DEGs) were identified by ESTIMATE algorithm and linear models for microarray analyses (LIMMA), respectively. CIBERSORT and Igraph algorithms were applied to construct the LUAD-related immunocyte infiltration and regulatory network. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, and univariate and multivariate Cox analysis were used to predict independent risk factors and screen for the hub genes. In addition, hub genes-correlated gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), tumor mutation burden (TMB), and clinic pathological relation analyses were also performed.

resultsStromal, immune, and microenvironment comprehensive features (ESTIMATE score) were associated with overall survival (OS) in LUAD patients (all, P<0.05). T-cell activation, chemokine activity, and immune effect or dysfunction gene ontology maps were associated with the LUAD immune microenvironment. The immune infiltration cell subtypes mast cells (masT-cells) resting [The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA): P=0.01; Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO): P=1.79e-05] and activated T-cells (CD4 memory) (TCGA: P<0.01; GEO: P=8.52e-05) were found to have an important role in the immune cell regulatory network. Finally,

conclusionsThe T-cell activation and activated T-cell (CD4 memory) pathways were predominantly involved in LUAD immune microenvironment regulation. The expression levels of
