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: Globally, non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has a high incidence, and NSCLC patients have poor prognoses. Lung squamous carcinoma (LUSC) is a major pathological type of NSCLC. LncRNAs play important roles in tumor progression and immune system functions. The aim of this study was to construct a predictive model with immune-related lncRNAs and to assess the immune microenvironment in middle- or advanced-stage LUSC patients. Methods: RNA sequencing data and corresponding clinical LUSC data were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas. Immune genes were obtained from the Molecular Signatures Database. Immune-related lncRNAs were identified by Pearson correlation analysis in R. The model was constructed using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. Finally, we validated the prognostic immune-related lncRNA model in a cohort from the Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center. Results: Our risk model included four immune-related lncRNAs (LINC00944, AL034550.2, AC020907.1 and AC027682.6). Survival analysis revealed that overall and disease-free survival were shorter in the high-risk group than in the low-risk group. Independent prognostic analysis showed that our model could be used as an independent prognostic predictor. The high-risk group was positively associated with CD8+ T cells, B cells, myeloid dendritic cells, macrophages, regulatory T cells (Tregs) and cancer-associated fibroblasts and high expression of PD1 and CTLA4. Additionally, a low-risk score was correlated with lower half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC Conclusion: We established a risk score model including four immune-related lncRNAs. The model accurately predicts the prognosis of middle- or advanced-stage LUSC patients and provides an important reference for individualized treatment.
