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

Background: Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are rare malignancies arising from mesenchymal tissue and interlacing ectodermal nerve tissue. Immunotherapy plays an important role in the prognosis and survival of STS patients. However, there is insufficient evidence to confirm the prognostic value of m6A-related genes and to evaluate the efficacy of immunotherapy for STS. Methods: We analyzed 23 m6A regulators from STS samples using R software and defined the modification patterns for three STS m6A regulators. Then, we constructed the m6A scores and divided the samples into high and low subgroups. Finally, we used data from the GEO database to verify the results. Results: We found that the m6A clusters differed in the overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and immune infiltration rate. Additionally, the m6A score was positively correlated with the contents of activated B cells, activated dendritic cells, CD56 bright natural killer cells, helper T cells, and regulatory T cells. The group with a higher m6A score also presented higher OS and PFS rates. Regarding immunotherapy, STS patients with a high m6A score presented better results. Consistently, we found similar results in another dataset with patients that received anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy. Conclusion: Our current results indicated that the m6A score can be used to assess the survival rate of STS patients and guide immunotherapy and predict its effects. The analysis of different m6A patterns of STS samples contributed to the understanding of the diversity and complexity of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and provided new ideas for the clinical development of personalized immunotherapy and prediction of the prognosis of STS patients.
