Data-driven analysis to identify prognostic immune-related biomarkers in BRAF mutated cutaneous melanoma microenvironment.
Article in Frontiers in genetics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Skin cutaneous melanoma is one of the deadly diseases, and more than 50% of the patients have BRAF gene mutations. Evidence suggests that oncogenic BRAF modulates the immune system's ability to recognize SKCM cells. Due to the complexity of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and a lack of a rational mechanistic basis, it is urgent to investigate the immune infiltration and identify prognostic biomarkers in BRAF mutated SKCM patients. Multiple methods including ESTIMATE algorithm, differential gene analysis, prognostic analysis and immune infiltration analysis were performed to investigate the tumor microenvironment. Based on the patient's immune score and stromal score, immune-related genes DEGs were identified. Functional analysis revealed that these genes were mainly enriched in biological processes such as immune response, defense response and positive regulation of immune system. Furthermore, we analyzed the immune infiltrating cell components of BRAF mutated patients and revealed 4 hub genes associated with overall survival time. Several cells (Monocyte, Macrophage and Gamma delta cells) have been found to be significantly decreased in immune-high BRAF mutated SKCM group. While CD4
