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

backgroundOvarian cancer (OV) is a serious threat to women's health. Immunotherapy is a new approach. Alternative splicing (AS) of messenger RNA (mRNA) and its regulation are highly relevant for understanding every cancer hallmark and may offer a broadened target space.

methodsWe downloaded the clinical information and mRNA expression profiles of 587 tumor tissues from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. We constructed a risk score model to predict the prognosis of OV patients. The association between AS-based clusters and tumor-immune microenvironment features was further explored. The ESTIMATE algorithm was also carried out on each OV sample depending on the risk score groups. A total of three immune checkpoint genes that have a significant correlation with risk scores were screened.

resultsThe AS-events were a reliable and stable independent risk predictor in the OV cohort. Patients in the high-risk score group had a poor prognosis (P<0.001). Mast cells activated, NK cells resting, and Neutrophils positively correlated with the risk score. The number of Macrophages M1 was also more numerous in the low-risk score group (P<0.05). Checkpoint genes CD274, CTLA-4, and PDCD1LG2, showed a negative correlation with the risk score of AS in OV.

conclusionsThe proposed AS signature is a promising biomarker for estimating overall survival (OS) in OV. The AS-events signature combined with tumor-immune microenvironment enabled a deeper understanding of the immune status of OV patients, and also provided new insights for exploring novel prognostic predictors and precise therapy methods.
