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

Pyroptosis plays a vital role in the development of cancers; however, its role in regulating immune cell infiltration in tumor microenvironment (TME) and pyroptosis-related molecular subtypes remain unclear. Herein, we comprehensively analyzed the molecular subtypes mediated by the pyroptosis-related genes (PRGs) in gastric cancer (GC). Three pyroptosis patterns were determined with distinct TME cell-infiltrating characteristics and prognosis. Principal component analysis was performed to establish the pyroptosis score. The high pyroptosis score group was featured by increased activated CD4+ T cell infiltration, better prognosis, elevated tumor mutation burden, higher immune and stromal scores, and enhanced response to immunotherapy. However, the low pyroptosis score group was characterized by poorer survival, decreased immune infiltration, and glycerolipid and histidine metabolism pathways. Additionally, high pyroptosis score was confirmed as an independent favorable prognostic factor for overall survival. Three cohorts designed to analyze the response to immunotherapy verified that patients with higher pyroptosis score showed treatment benefit. In summary, our study demonstrated that pyroptosis regulates the complex TME. Assessing the pyroptosis patterns will advance our understanding on TME features and tumor immunology and provide the rationale for designing personalized immunotherapy strategies.
