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

Disulfidptosis is a newly discovered cellular programmed cell death mode. Presently, a considerable number of genes related to disulfidptosis remain undiscovered, and its significance in hepatocellular carcinoma remains unrevealed. We have developed a powerful analytical method called RF-GSEA for identifying potential genes associated with disulfidptosis. This method draws inspiration from gene regulation networks and graph theory, and it is implemented through a combination of random forest regression model and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis. Subsequently, to validate the practical application value of this method, we applied it to hepatocellular carcinoma. Based on the RF-GSEA method, we developed a disulfidptosis-related signature. Lastly, we looked into how the disulfidptosis-related signature is connected to HCC prognosis, the tumor microenvironment, the effectiveness of immunotherapy, and the sensitivity of chemotherapy drugs. The RF-GSEA method identified a total of 220 disulfidptosis-related genes, from which 7 were selected to construct the disulfidptosis-related signature. The high-disulfidptosis-related score group had a worse prognosis compared to the low-disulfidptosis-related score group and showed lower infiltration levels of immune-promoting cells. The high-disulfidptosis-related score group had a higher likelihood of benefiting from immunotherapy compared to the low-disulfidptosis-related score group. The RF-GSEA method is a powerful tool for identifying disulfidptosis-related genes. The disulfidptosis-related signature effectively predicts HCC prognosis, immunotherapy response, and drug sensitivity.
