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

Introduction: Cellular senescence is a cellular response to stress, including the activation of oncogenes, and is characterized by irreversible proliferation arrest. Restricted studies have provided a relationship between cellular senescence and immunotherapy for esophageal cancer. Methods: In the present study, we obtained clinical sample of colon cancer from the TCGA database and cellular senescence-related genes from MSigDB and Genecard datasets. Cellular senescence-related prognostic genes were identified by WGCNA, COX, and lasso regression analysis, and a cellular senescence-related risk score (CSRS) was calculated. We constructed a prognostic model based on CSRS. Validation was performed with an independent cohort that GSE53625. Three scoring systems for immuno-infiltration analysis were performed, namely ssGSEA analysis, ESTIMATE scores and TIDE scores. Result: Five cellular senescence-related genes, including H3C1, IGFBP1, MT1E, SOX5 and CDHR4 and used to calculate risk score. Multivariate regression analysis using cox regression model showed that cellular senescence-related risk scores (HR=2.440, 95% CI=1.154-5.159, p=0.019) and pathological stage (HR=2.423, 95% CI=1.119-5.249, p=0.025) were associated with overall survival (OS). The nomogram model predicts better clinical benefit than the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging for prognosis of patients with esophageal cancer with a five-year AUC of 0.946. Patients with high CSRS had a poor prognosis (HR=2.93, 95%CI=1.74-4.94, p<0.001). We observed differences in the distribution of CSRS in different pathological staging and therefore performed a subgroup survival analysis finding that assessment of prognosis by CSRS independent of pathological staging. Comprehensive immune infiltration analysis and functional enrichment analysis suggested that patients with high CSRS may develop immunotherapy resistance through mechanisms of deacetylation and methylation. Discussion: In summary, our study suggested that CSRS is a prognostic risk factor for esophageal cancer. Patients with high CSRS may have worse immunotherapy outcomes.
