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

ADME genes are a set of genes which are involved in drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME). However, prognostic value and function of ADME genes in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remain largely unclear. In this study, we established an ADME-related prognostic model through the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) analysis in the Cancer Genome Atla (TCGA) training cohort and its robustness was validated by TCGA internal validation cohort and a Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) external cohort. The 14-gene signature stratified patients into high- or low-risk groups. Patients with high-risk scores exhibited significantly poorer overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) than those with low-risk scores. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to confirm the signature's predictive efficacy for OS and DFS. Furthermore, gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses showed that immune-related functions and pathways were enriched, such as lymphocyte activation, leukocyte cell-cell adhesion and T-helper cell differentiation. The Cell-type Identification by Estimating Relative Subsets of RNA Transcripts (CIBERSORT) and other analyses revealed that immune cell (especially B cell and T cell) infiltration levels were significantly higher in the low-risk group. Moreover, patients with low-risk scores were significantly associated with immunotherapy and chemotherapy treatment benefit. In conclusion, we constructed a novel ADME-related prognostic and therapeutic biomarker associated with immune cell infiltration of HNSCC patients.
