Construction and validation of a prognostic model based on stage-associated signature genes of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: a bioinformatics study.

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
Background: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a malignancy of epithelial origin and with poor prognosis. Exploring the biomarkers and prognostic models that can contribute to early tumor detection is meaningful. A comprehensive analysis was conducted according to the stage-related signature genes of HNSCC, and a prognostic model was developed to validate their ability to predict the prognosis. Methods: The transcriptome profiles and clinical information of HNSCC patients were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) respectively. mRNA expressions of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analyzed in stage I-II patients and stage III-IV patients from TCGA by R packages. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and core-gene network map were constructed, and Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses were performed to examine pathway enrichment. Kaplan-Meier, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), and multivariate Cox regression were applied to establish a stage-associated signature model. A Spearman analysis was conducted to examine the correlations between the characteristic genes and immune cell infiltration. Kaplan-Meier analysis and a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used to test the effectiveness of the model. Univariate multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to assess whether the risk score was an independent prognostic indicator for HNSCC. Results: In TCGA cohort, 5 genes (i.e., Conclusions: We constructed and verified a prognostic risk model of stage-related signature genes for HNSCC based on the GEO and TCGA data. Due to the good predictive accuracy of this model, the prognosis of and the tumor immune cell infiltration with patients can be estimated.
