A promising anoikis-related prognostic signature predicts prognosis of skin cutaneous melanoma.

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
backgroundSkin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) is a highly aggressive disease with a poor prognosis for advanced tumors. Anoikis is a caspase-dependent cell death process triggered by extracellular matrix (ECM) detachment, rectifies detachment-induced metabolic defects that compromise cell survival, recent study revealed the crucial role of anoikis for cancer cells to survive during metastasis. However, limited research focused on the role of anoikis in SKCM.
methodsOur study utilized the 27 anoikis-related genes (ARGs) to divide SKCM patients into two clusters, and obtain differentially expressed genes (DEGs) for each cluster. These DEGs were used in stepwise Cox regression analysis to develop a prediction model for SKCM patients consisting of nine ARGs, called the anoikis-related signature (ARS). Subsequently, we used the risk scores calculated from the ARS to divide SKCM patients into two groups and explored differences in immune microenvironment, immune checkpoint reactivity, and drug sensitivity between the groups.
resultsNine ARGs were identified to stratify SKCM patients into two risk groups, patients in the high-risk group had a poor prognosis and suppressed immune cell infiltration. Moreover, higher expression of immune checkpoint molecules and a greater sensitivity to immunotherapy and chemotherapy drugs were observed in the low-risk group. Finally, all of the ARS hub genes were found to be upregulated in SKCM tissues and cell lines.
conclusionA novel ARGs signature was identified for predicting the prognosis of SKCM. Based on the immune landscape associated with ARS discovered in our study, targeting ARS hub genes may be a promising treatment for SKCM.
