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

backgroundTo comprehensively analyze the stemness characteristics related to prognosis and the immune microenvironment in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).

methodsThe OCLR machine learning method was used to calculate the stemness index (mRNAsi) of the LUAD samples. DEGs common between the low mRNAsi, normal, and high mRNAsi groups were screened and the immune-stemness genes were obtained. Then the PPI network was created and enrichment analyses were performed. Moreover, different subtypes based on immune-stemness genes associated with prognosis were identified, and the relationships between LUAD stemness and TIME variables were systematically analyzed, followed by TMB analysis.

resultsPatients in the high mRNAsi groups with poor prognosis were screened along with 144 immune-stemness genes. IL-6, FPR2, and RLN3 showed a higher degree in the PPI network. A total of 26 immune-stemness genes associated with prognosis were screened. Two clusters were obtained (cluster 1 and cluster 2). Survival analysis revealed that patients in cluster 2 had a poor prognosis. A total of 12 immune cell subpopulations exhibited significant differences between cluster 1 and cluster 2 (P < 0.05). A total of 10 immune checkpoint genes exhibited significantly higher expression in cluster 1 (P < 0.05) than in cluster 2. Further, the TMB value in cluster 2 was higher than that in cluster 1 (P < 0.05).

conclusionImmune-stemness genes, including L-6, FPR2, and RLN3, might play significant roles in LUAD development via cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, neuroactive ligand‒receptor interaction, and the JAK‒STAT pathway. Immune-stemness genes were related to tumor-infiltrating immune cells, TMB, and expression of immune checkpoint gene.
