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

Some patients with endometrial cancer (EC) suffer from limited survival benefits after immunotherapy, suggesting that there may be a specific pattern associated with immunotherapy. Immune-related genes were extracted from The Cancer Genome Atlas databases. We analyzed the differences among immune subtypes (ISs) in the distribution of the tumor mutational burden, chemotherapy-induced immune response markers, immune checkpoint-related genes, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy. We applied dimensionality reduction and defined the immune landscape of EC. Then, we used the Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis package to identify the coexpression modules of these immune genes. Finally, hub genes were selected and detected by quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry. We obtained three ISs. There were differences in the distribution of the tumor mutational burden, chemotherapy-induced immune response markers, and immune checkpoint-related genes among the ISs. Regarding immunotherapy and chemotherapy, the IS2 subtypes were more sensitive to programmed cell death protein 1 inhibitors. In addition, different positions in the immune landscape map exhibited different prognostic characteristics, providing further evidence of the ISs. The IS2 subtypes were significantly positively correlated with yellow module gene list, indicating a good prognosis with high score. SIRPG and SLAMF1 were identified as the final characteristic genes. The quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry results showed that the expression levels of SIRPG and SLAMF1 were low in human EC tissue. In this study, we identified three reproducible ISs of EC. The immune landscape analysis further revealed the intraclass heterogeneity of the ISs. SIRPG and SLAMF1 were identified to be associated with progression, suggesting that they may be novel immune-related biomarkers of EC.
