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

backgroundPancreatic cancer (PC) is a rare solid malignancy with a poor prognosis. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play essential roles in tumorigenesis and progression. However, little is known about the role of m6A-related lncRNAs in PC.

methodsm6A-related lncRNAs were extracted by Pearson analysis, and then prognosis-related lncRNAs were filtered from the m6A-related lncRNAs by univariate Cox regression analysis. Based on the expression patterns of the prognosis-related lncRNAs, samples were classified into distinct clusters. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression was used to construct a m6A-lncRNA-related prognostic signature for PC patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and the corresponding area under the curve (AUC) values were used to evaluate the prognostic ability of the model.

resultsA total of 178 tumor and 4 normal samples were extracted from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database in our study. Based on the expression of 12 filtered prognosis-related lncRNAs, two distinct clusters were eventually identified; these clusters were characterized by differences in the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) and prognosis. A risk model comprising ten m6A-related lncRNAs was identified as an independent predictor of prognosis. ROC analysis revealed that this model had an acceptable prognostic value for PC patients. The prognostic signature was related to the TIME and the expression of critical immune checkpoint molecules.

conclusionThis study comprehensively assessed the expression pattern and prognostic value of m6A-related lncRNAs in PC. The different clusters correlated with distinct TIMEs and prognoses. The study also constructed a ten-gene signature prognostic model based on m6A-related lncRNAs, which showed good accuracy in predicting overall survival.
