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: Alternative splicing (AS) is a critical mechanism of post-transcriptional regulation and has been widely reported to be associated with the tumor progression and tumor microenvironment (TME) formation. However, the role of AS in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) has not been clearly elucidated. This study presents a comprehensive analysis exploring the impact of AS on prognosis and TME in LUAD. Methods: The gene expression transcriptome profiles and survival data were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, and the splicing profiles were obtained from the TCGA SpliceSeq database. Base on prognostic AS events, a prognostic signature was constructed using Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression followed by multivariate Cox regression analysis. Survival outcomes was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and the predictive performance of the signature was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Furthermore, the landscape of the TME was assessed by ESTIMATE, Microenvironment Cell Population (MCP)-counter, and single-sample Gene-Set Enrichment Analysis (ssGSEA) algorithms. Results: A total of 127 prognostic AS events with P value <0.001 from 89 genes in LUAD were confirmed. A prognostic signature was constructed based on 20 prognostic AS events. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated that higher risk scores were associated with poorer overall survival (OS). The area under the ROC curve of risk scores predicting the 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival probability were 0.791, 0.847, and 0.832, respectively. Furthermore, significant relationship was observed between the prognostic signature and the landscape of the TME. High-risk patients had lower stromal/immune scores, higher tumor purity, and significantly decreased abundance of majority immune cells, and immune-related signatures (P<0.05). Finally, a potential regulatory mechanism of the AS events is displayed in a regulatory network. Conclusions: This research highlights the prognostic value of AS events for patients with LUAD and provide new insight into the regulation of the TME by AS. Notably, AS may affect the patient's prognosis by altering the TME. Our findings provide important guidance for the development of novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets in patients with LUAD.
