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

backgroundIn recent years, it has been proved that necroptosis plays an important role in the occurrence, development, invasion, metastasis and drug resistance of malignant tumors. Hence, further evaluation and targeting of necroptosis may be of clinical benefit for gynecologic cancers (GCs).

methodsTo compare consistency and difference, we explored the expression pattern and prognostic value of necroptosis-related genes (NRGs) in pan-GC analysis through Linear regression and Empirical Bayesian, Univariate Cox analysis, and public databases from TCGA and Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx), including CESC, OV, UCEC, and UCS. We explored the copy number variation (CNV), methylation level and enrichment pathways of NRGs in the four GCs. Based on LASSO Cox regression analysis or principal component analysis, we established the prognostic NRG-signature or necroptosis-score for the four GCs. In addition, we predicted and compared functional pathways, tumor mutational burden (TMB), somatic mutation features, immunity status, immunotherapy, chemotherapeutic drug sensitivity of the NRG-signature based on NRGs. We also examined the expression level of several NRGs in OV samples that we collected using Quantitative Real-time PCR.

resultsWe confirmed the presence of NRGs in expression, prognosis, CNV, and methylation for four GCs, thus comparing the consistency and difference among the four GCs. The prognosis and independent prognostic value of the risk signatures based on NRGs were determined. Through the results of subclass mapping, we found that GC patients with lower risk score may be more sensitive to PDL1 response and more sensitive to immune checkpoint blockade therapy. Drug susceptibility analysis showed that, 51, 45, 64, and 29 drugs with differences between risk groups were yielded in CESC, OV, UCEC, and UCS respectively. For OV, the expression differences of several NRGs in the tissues we collected were similar to that in TCGA.

conclusionOur comprehensive analysis of NRGs and NRG-signature demonstrated their similarity and difference, as well as their potential roles in prognosis and could guide therapeutic strategies, thus improving the outcome of GC patients.
