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
objectivesMalignant melanoma is a highly malignant and heterogeneous skin cancer. Although immunotherapy has improved survival rates, the inhibitory effect of tumor microenvironment has weakened its efficacy. To improve survival and treatment strategies, we need to develop immune-related prognostic models. Based on the analysis of the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), and Sequence Read Archive (SRA) database, this study aims to establish an immune-related prognosis prediction model, and to evaluate the tumor immune microenvironment by risk score to guide immunotherapy.
methodsSkin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) transcriptome sequencing data and corresponding clinical information were obtained from the TCGA database, differentially expressed genes were analyzed, and prognostic models were developed using univariate Cox regression, the LASSO method, and stepwise regression. Differentially expressed genes in prognostic models confirmed by real-time reverse transcription PCR (real-time RT-PCR) and Western blotting. Survival analysis was performed by using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the effect of the model was evaluated by time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve as well as multivariate Cox regression, and the prognostic model was validated by 2 GEO melanoma datasets. Furthermore, correlations between risk score and immune cell infiltration, Estimation of STromal and Immune cells in MAlignant Tumor tissues using Expression data (ESTIMATE) score, immune checkpoint mRNA expression levels, tumor immune cycle, or tumor immune micro-environmental pathways were analyzed. Finally, we performed association analysis for risk score and the efficacy of immunotherapy.
resultsWe identified 4 genes that were differentially expressed in TCGA-SKCM datasets, which were mainly associated with the tumor immune microenvironment. A prognostic model was also established based on 4 genes. Among 4 genes, the mRNA and protein levels of killer cell lectin like receptor D1 (
conclusionsThe immune-related SKCM prognostic model constructed in this study can effectively predict the prognosis of SKCM patients. Considering its close correlation to the tumor immune microenvironment, the model has some reference value for clinical immunotherapy of SKCM.
