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

Background: Accumulating evidence has shown that 5-methylcytosinec (m5C) RNA methylation plays an essential role in tumorigenesis. However, the roles of m5C regulators in the prognosis, tumor microenvironment (TME), and immunotherapy responses of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) have not been fully analyzed. Methods: Based on 14 m5C RNA regulators, we evaluated the m5C RNA modification patterns in patients with LUAD (n=594) in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Unsupervised clustering analysis was performed to confirm distinct m5C modification patterns. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were performed to investigate the biological functions of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) among different m5C RNA modification patterns. An m5C signature (m5Csig) was constructed using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithms. The GSE72094 cohort (n=442) from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) was used to validate m5Csig. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) model was constructed to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of m5Csig. Tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TIICs) between the high- and low-risk groups were estimated using the Cell Type Identification By Estimating Relative Subsets Of RNA Transcripts (CIBERSORT) algorithm. Results: We identified 3 m5C RNA modification clusters. Overall survival (OS) differed among the 3 clusters. The m5Csig, including Conclusions: The present study revealed that m5C RNA regulators play a significant role in TME regulation in LUAD. The m5Csig can predict the prognosis of patients with LUAD and might provide novel strategies for tumor immunotherapy.
