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

Cancer immunotherapy is an increasingly successful strategy for treating patients with advanced or conventionally drug-resistant cancers. T cells have been proved to play important roles in anti-tumor and tumor microenvironment shaping, while these roles have not been explained in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC). In this study, we first performed a comprehensive analysis of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from the gene expression omnibus (GEO) database to identify 72 T-cell marker genes. Subsequently, we constructed a 5-gene prognostic signature in the training cohort based on the T-cell marker genes from the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) database, which was further validated in the testing cohort and GEO cohort. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve at 1-, 3-, and 5-years were 0.614, 0.713 and 0.702 in the training cohort, 0.669, 0.603 and 0.645 in the testing cohort, 0.661, 0.628 and 0.590 in the GEO cohort, respectively. Furthermore, we created a highly reliable nomogram to facilitate clinical application. Gene set enrichment analysis showed that immune-related pathways were mainly enriched in the high-risk group. Tumor immune microenvironment indicated that high-risk group exhibited higher immune score, stromal score, and immune cell infiltration levels. Moreover, genes of the immune checkpoints and human leukocyte antigen family were all overexpressed in high-risk group. Drug sensitivity revealed that low-risk group was sensitive to 8 chemotherapeutic drugs and high-risk group to 4 chemotherapeutic drugs. In short, our study reveals a novel prognostic signature based on T-cell marker genes, which provides a new target and theoretical support for LUSC patients.
