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

Despite autophagy modulating tumor immunity in the tumor microenvironment (TME), the immunotherapeutic efficacy and potential mechanism of autophagy signature was not explicit. We manually curated an autophagy gene set and defined a pan-cancer autophagy signature by comparing malignant tissues and normal tissues in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort. The pan-cancer autophagy signature was derived from T proliferating cells as demonstrated in multiple single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets. The pan-cancer autophagy signature could influence the cell-cell interactions in the TME and predict the responsiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in the metastatic renal cell carcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer, bladder cancer, and melanoma cohorts. Metabolism inactivation accompanied with dysregulation of autophagy was investigated with transcriptomic and proteomic data. The immunotherapeutic predictive role and mechanism regulation of the autophagy signature was validated in an in-house cohort. Our study provides valuable insights into the mechanisms of ICI resistance.
