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

backgroundStudies have shown that long noncoding RNAs and N6-methyladenosine play important roles in gastric cancer. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation and prognostic value of m6A-related lncRNAs and immune infiltration in gastric cancer.

methodsWe downloaded the clinically related information and RNA-Seq transcriptome data of gastric cancer patients from the TCGA database. Univariate Cox regression analysis and Pearson analysis were used to screen out m6A-related lncRNAs. Consensus cluster analysis was used to divide the sample into two clusters, and LASSO analysis and Cox regression analysis were used to construct a risk scoring model.

resultsA total of 25 lncRNA expression profiles were screened, and gastric cancer patients were divided into different subtypes. Cluster 2 had a better prognosis, but its stromal score, ESTIMATE score and immune score were low. Cluster 1 was rich in resting memory CD4 T cells, regulatory T cells, monocytes, and resting mast cells, and Cluster 2 was rich in activated memory CD4 T cells and follicular helper T cells. Thirteen lncRNAs were selected to construct a risk model, and the prognosis of gastric cancer patients in the high-risk group was poor. The expression of PD-L1 in tumours is significantly higher than that in normal tissues. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis results showed that the overall survival rate was significantly related to stage and the risk score, which can be used as an independent prognostic factor. The results of the heatmap and scatter plot showed that clusters (P = 0.0045) and grade (G1-2, G3, P = 0.0037) were significantly related to prognosis. The relationship between the risk score and immune cell infiltration showed that memory B cells, resting dendritic cells, M0 macrophages, and M2 macrophages were positively correlated with the risk score, while resting mast cells, monocytes, activated NK cells, and follicular helper T cells were negatively correlated with the risk score.

conclusionThe results of this study indicate that m6A-related lncRNAs may play an important role in the prognosis of gastric cancer patients and the tumour immune microenvironment and may provide help for the treatment of gastric cancer patients.
