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

backgroundThe dominant subclass of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a crucial feature of carcinogenesis and progression in LUAD. Furthermore, immune and stromal components of TME are crucial factors to investigating and curing LUAD. Thus, the study assessed the value of TME-related genes for LUAD prognosis and immune infiltration.

methodsAll data were downloaded from TCGA and GEO databases. The immune and stromal scores were downloaded from ESTIMATE, and the association between the scores and prognosis was explored by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and univariate Cox regression were used to find TME-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs), and HLA-DMA was regarded as a prognostic hub gene. Western blot analyses, qRT-PCR, and immunofluorescence were applied to verify HLA-DMA expression in clinical samples. NSCLC cell lines were used to verify the effect of HLA-DMA on cell proliferation and cell cycle distribution. At last, the alteration of immunotherapy response and TME transition caused by HLA-DMA different expression were further studied.

resultsThe immune score was positively correlated with survival. The functional analyses suggested that TME-related DEGs may be involved in the immune response. The expression level of HLA-DMA was decreased in LUAD. In addition, HLA-DMA expression was associated with several clinical features and was positively associated with survival. Furthermore, HLA-DMA may suspend cell proliferation by regulating cell cycle. HLA-DMA expression was closely associated with immune infiltration and positively correlated with TMB, indicating that patients with high HLA-DMA level were more suitable for immunotherapy.

conclusionThese results reveal that HLA-DMA might act as a biomarker for immune infiltration and immunotherapy response.
