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

objectivePyroptosis is a form of programmed cell death that is essential for immunity. Herein, this study was conducted to uncover the implication of pyroptosis in immunomodulation and tumor microenvironment (TME) in gastric cancer.

methodsPrognostic pyroptosis-related genes were extracted to identify different pyroptosis phenotypes and pyroptosis genomic phenotypes via unsupervised clustering analysis in the gastric cancer meta-cohort cohort (GSE15459, GSE62254, GSE84437, GSE26253 and TCGA-STAD). The activation of hallmark gene sets was quantified by GSVA and immune cell infiltration was estimated via ssGSEA and CIBERSORT. Through PCA algorithm, pyroptosis score was conducted. The predictors of immune response (TMB and IPS) and genetic mutations were evaluated. The efficacy of pyroptosis score in predicting immune response was verified in two anti-PD-1 therapy cohorts.

resultsThree different pyroptosis phenotypes with different prognosis, biological pathways and tumor immune microenvironment were established among 1275 gastric cancer patients, corresponding to three immune phenotypes: immune-inflamed, immune-desert, and immune-excluded. According to the pyroptosis score, patients were separated into high and low pyroptosis score groups. Low pyroptosis score indicated favorable survival outcomes, enhanced immune responses, and increased mutation frequency. Moreover, low pyroptosis score patients displayed more clinical benefits from anti-PD-1 and prolonged survival time.

conclusionOur findings uncovered a nonnegligible role of pyroptosis in immunomodulation and TME multiformity and complicacy in gastric cancer. Quantifying the pyroptosis score in individual tumors may tailor more effective immunotherapeutic strategies.
