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: Numerous studies have shown that the aging microenvironment played a huge impact on tumor progression. However, the clinical prognostic value of aging-related risk signatures and their effects on the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remains largely unclear. This study aimed to identify novel prognostic signatures based on aging-related genes (AGs) and reveal the landscape of the TIME in HNSCC. Methods: Differentially expressed AGs were identified using the gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). The prognostic risk model of AGs was established by univariate and multivariate Cox regression and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analyses. The independent prognostic value of the risk model and the correlations of the prognostic signature with immune score, tumor immune cell infiltration, and immune checkpoints were systematically analyzed. Results: A prognostic risk model of four AGs ( Conclusions: The aging-related risk signature is a reliable prognostic model for predicting the survival of HNSCC patients and provides potential targets for improving outcomes of immunotherapy.
