The pyroptosis-related gene signature predicts prognosis and indicates the immune microenvironment status of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

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.
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
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common leukemia in the Western world with great heterogeneity. Pyroptosis has recently been recognized as an inflammatory form of programmed cell death (PCD) and shares a close relationship with apoptosis. Although the role of apoptosis in CLL was comprehensively studied and successfully applied in clinical treatment, the relationship between pyroptosis genes and CLL remained largely unknown. In this study, eight differentially expressed pyroptosis-related genes (PRGs) were identified between CLL and normal B cells. In order to screen out the prognostic value of differentially expressed PRGs, univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were conducted and a risk model with three PRG signatures (GSDME, NLRP3, and PLCG1) was constructed. All CLL samples were stratified into high- and low-risk subgroups according to risk scores. The risk model showed high efficacy in predicting both overall survival (OS) and time to first treatment (TTFT). Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) showed the dysregulation of immune and inflammatory response in the high-risk group. Single-sample GSEA (ssGSEA) of immune cell infiltration and the activity of immune-related pathways also displayed decreased antitumor immunity in the high-risk group. In conclusion, PRGs are of prognostic value in CLL and may play important roles in tumor immunity, and the underlying relationship between PRGs and CLL needs to be explored further.
