Molecular subtypes based on DNA sensors predict prognosis and tumor immunophenotype in hepatocellular carcinoma.

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
DNA sensors play crucial roles in inflammation and have been indicated to be involved in antitumor or tumorigenesis, while it is still unclear whether DNA sensors have potential roles in the prognosis and immunotherapy of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Herein, The Cancer Genome Atlas and Gene Expression Omnibus databases were used to analyze RNA sequencing data and clinical information. A total of 14 DNA sensors were collected and performed consensus clustering to determine their molecular mechanisms in HCC. Two distinct molecular subtypes (Clusters C1 and C2) were identified and were associated with different overall survival (OS). Immune subtype analysis revealed that C1 was mainly characterized by inflammation, while C2 was characterized by lymphocyte depletion. Immune scoring and immunomodulatory function analysis confirmed the different immune microenvironment of C1 and C2. Notably, significant differences in "Hot Tumor" Immunophenotype were observed between the two subtypes. Moreover, the prognostic model based on DNA sensors is capable of effectively predicting the OS of HCC patients. Besides, the chemotherapeutic drug analysis showed the different sensitivity of two subtypes. Taken together, our study shows that the proposed DNA sensors were a reliable signature to predict the prognosis and immunotherapy response with potential application in the clinical decision and treatment of HCC.
