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

backgroundSearching for immunotherapy-related markers is an important research content to screen for target populations suitable for immunotherapy. Prognosis-related genes in early stage lung cancer may also affect the tumor immune microenvironment, which in turn affects immunotherapy.

resultsWe analyzed the differential genes affecting lung cancer patients receiving immunotherapy through the Cancer Treatment Response gene signature DataBase (CTR-DB), and set a threshold to obtain a total of 176 differential genes between response and non-response to immunotherapy. Functional enrichment analysis found that these differential genes were mainly involved in immune regulation-related pathways. The early-stage lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) prognostic model was constructed through the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) database, and three target genes (MMP12, NFE2, HOXC8) were screened to calculate the risk score of early-stage LUAD. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve indicated that the model had good prognostic value, and the validation set (GSE50081, GSE11969 and GSE42127) from the gene expression omnibus (GEO) analysis indicated that the model had good stability, and the risk score was correlated with immune infiltrations to varying degrees. Multi-type survival analysis and immune infiltration analysis revealed that the transcriptome, methylation and the copy number variation (CNV) levels of the three genes were correlated with patient prognosis and some tumor microenvironment (TME) components. Drug sensitivity analysis found that the three genes may affect some anti-tumor drugs. The mRNA expression of immune checkpoint-related genes showed significant differences between the high and low group of the three genes, and there may be a mutual regulatory network between immune checkpoint-related genes and target genes. Tumor immune dysfunction and exclusion (TIDE) analysis found that three genes were associated with immunotherapy response and maybe the potential predictors to immunotherapy, consistent with the CTR-DB database analysis.

conclusionsFrom the perspective of data mining, this study suggests that MMP12, NFE2, and HOXC8 may be involved in tumor immune regulation and affect immunotherapy. They are expected to become markers of immunotherapy and are worthy of further experimental research.
