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

backgroundAlthough significant progress has been made in immunotherapy for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), there is an urgent need to identify effective indicators to screen patients who are suitable for immunotherapy. Systematically investigating the cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) in LUAD may provide new ideas for patients' immunotherapy stratification.

methodWe comprehensively analyzed the landscape of 12 CRGs in a merged TCGA and GEO LUAD cohort. We investigated the associations between tumor microenvironment and immunophenotypes. We utilized a risk score to predict the prognosis and immunotherapy response for an individual patient. Additionally, we conducted CCK-8 experiments to evaluate the impact of DLGAP5 knockdown on A549 cell proliferation.

resultWe utilized an integrative approach to analyze 12 CRGs and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in LUAD samples, resulting in the identification of two distinct CRG clusters and two gene clusters. Based on these clusters, we generated immunophenotypes and observed that the inflamed phenotype had the most abundant immune infiltrations, while the desert phenotype showed the poorest immune infiltrations. We then developed a risk score model for individual patient prognosis and immunotherapy response prediction. Patients in the low-risk group had higher immune scores and ESTIMATE scores, indicating an active immune state with richer immune cell infiltrations and higher expression of immune checkpoint genes. Moreover, the low-risk group exhibited better immunotherapy response according to IPS, TIDE scores, and Imvigor210 cohort validation results. In addition, our in vitro wet experiments demonstrated that DLGAP5 knockdown could suppress the cell proliferation of A549.

conclusionNovel cuproptosis molecular patterns reflected the distinct immunophenotypes in LUAD patients. The risk model might pave the way to stratify patients suitable for immunotherapy and predict immunotherapy response.
