Identification of m6A/m5C-related lncRNA signature for prediction of prognosis and immunotherapy efficacy in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and 5-methylcytosine (m5C) RNA modifications have garnered significant attention in the field of epigenetic research due to their close association with human cancers. This study we focus on elucidating the expression patterns of m6A/m5C-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and assessing their prognostic significance and therapeutic potential. Transcriptomic profiles of ESCC were derived from public resources. m6A/m5C-related lncRNAs were obtained from TCGA using Spearman's correlations analysis. The m6A/m5C-lncRNAs prognostic signature was selected to construct a RiskScore model for survival prediction, and their correlation with the immune microenvironment and immunotherapy response was analyzed. A total of 606 m6A/m5C-lncRNAs were screened, and ESCC cases in the TCGA cohort were stratified into three clusters, which showed significantly distinct in various clinical features and immune landscapes. A RiskScore model comprising ten m6A/m5C-lncRNAs prognostic signature were constructed and displayed good independent prediction ability in validation datasets. Patients in the low-RiskScore group had a better prognosis, a higher abundance of immune cells (CD4 + T cell, CD4 + naive T cell, class-switched memory B cell, and Treg), and enhanced expression of most immune checkpoint genes. Importantly, patients with low-RiskScore were more cline benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment (P < 0.05). Our findings underscore the potential of RiskScore system comprising ten m6A/m5C-related lncRNAs as effective biomarkers for predicting survival outcomes, characterizing the immune landscape, and assessing response to immunotherapy in ESCC.
