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

Cuproptosis, a novel copper-dependent cell death involving mitochondrial respiration, is distinct from other known death mechanisms, which inspires us to study further in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC). Herein, leveraging comprehensive data from TCGA-UCEC, we conducted transcriptional and genetic analyses of 13 recently identified cuproptosis genes. We discovered severe genetic instability of cuproptosis genes, extensive positive correlations among those genes with each other at the mRNA level, and their involvement in oncogenic pathways in UCEC samples. Next, WGCNA was performed to identify a potential module regulating cuproptosis, in which the hub genes, in addition to 13 cuproptosis genes, were drawn to construct a scoring system termed Cu. Score. Furthermore, its clinical and biological relevance and tumor immune landscape, genetic alterations, as well as predicted sensitivity of chemotherapy drugs in different Cu. Score subgroups had been discussed extensively and in detail. Additionally, univariate Cox and LASSO regression were performed to identify 13 cuproptosis-related prognostic genes to establish a prognostic signature, the Risk. Score. Integrating the Risk. Score and clinical parameters, we established a nomogram with excellent performance to predict the 1-/3-/5-year survival probabilities of UCEC patients. To conclude, we conducted a comprehensive analysis encompassing cuproptosis and developed a cuproptosis scoring system and a prognostic prediction model for UCEC, which may offer help with individualized assessment and treatment for UCEC patients from the perspective of a novel death mechanism.
