Multi-omics characterization of a scoring system to quantify hypoxia patterns in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
Article in Journal of translational medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe 5-year survival rate of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remains < 50%. Hypoxia patterns are a hallmark of HNSCC that are associated with its occurrence and progression. However, the precise role of hypoxia during HNSCC, such as the relationship between hypoxia, tumor immune landscape and cell communication orchestration remains largely unknown. The current study integrated data from bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing analyses to define the relationship between hypoxia and HNSCC.
methodsA scoring system named the hypoxia score (HS) was constructed based on hypoxia-related genes (HRGs) expression. The predictive value of HS response for patient outcomes and different treatments was evaluated. Single-cell datasets and cell communication were utilized to rule out cell populations which hypoxia targeted on.
resultsThe survival outcomes, immune/Estimate scores, responses to targeted inhibitors, and chemotherapeutic, and immunotherapy responses were distinct between a high HS group and a low HS group (all P < 0.05). Single-cell datasets showed different distributions of HS in immune cell populations (P < 0.05). Furthermore, HLA-DPA1/CD4 axis was identified as a unique interaction between CD4 + T Conv and pDC cells.
conclusionsAltogether, the quantification for hypoxia patterns is a potential biomarker for prognosis, individualized chemotherapeutic and immunotherapy strategies. The portrait of cell communication characteristics over the HNSCC ecosystem enhances the understanding of hypoxia patterns in HNSCC.
