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

backgroundThe tumor immune environment plays a critical role in lung cancer initiation and prognosis. Therefore, understanding how the tumor immune environment impacts the overall survival (OS) of patients with advanced lung cancer post immunotherapy is of great importance. In this article, we aimed to identify the immune components of lung cancer and develop an immune prognostic signature to predict OS.

methodsDifferentially expressed immune-related genes were calculated between tumor and normal tissues using expression data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Then univariate Cox regression analysis was conducted to select prognosis-related genes and the prognostic risk model was constructed by multivariate Cox regression analysis. Patient risk scores were calculated, and a clinical correlation analysis was performed within the risk model. In addition, immune cell infiltration patterns were identified to find the immune cell subtypes related to prognosis.

resultsA gene model consisting of 12 immune-related genes was used as our signature. The model showed that the high-risk group experienced a shorter survival time, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) of 0.733. High-risk immune genes, such as S100 calcium binding protein A16 (

conclusionsThe signature developed in this paper could be an effective model for estimating OS in lung cancer patients, and the immune cell infiltration analysis of the tumor immune microenvironment could shed light on more effective treatment in clinical practice.
