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

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a prevalent subtype of lung cancer, yet the contribution of purine metabolism (PM) to its pathogenesis remains poorly elucidated. PM, a critical component of intracellular nucleotide synthesis and energy metabolism, is hypothesized to exert a significant influence on LUAD development. Herein, we employed single-cell analysis to investigate the role of PM within the tumour microenvironment (TME) of LUAD. PM scoring (PMS) across distinct cell types was determined using AUCell, UCell, singscore and AddModuleScore algorithms. Subsequently, we explored communication networks among cells within high- and low-PMS groups, establishing a robust PM-associated signature (PAS) utilizing a comprehensive dataset comprising LUAD samples from TCGA and five GEO datasets. Our findings revealed that the high-PMS group exhibited intensified cell interactions, while the PAS, constructed using PM-related genes, demonstrated precise prognostic predictive capability. Notably, analysis across the TCGA dataset and five GEO datasets indicated that low-PAS patients exhibited a superior prognosis. Furthermore, the low-PAS group displayed increased immune cell infiltration and elevated CD8A expression, coupled with reduced PD-L1 expression. Moreover, data from eight publicly available immunotherapy cohorts suggested enhanced immunotherapy outcomes in the low-PAS group. These results underscore a close association between PAS and tumour immunity, offering predictive insights into genomic alterations, chemotherapy drug sensitivity and immunotherapy responses in LUAD. The newly established PAS holds promise as a valuable tool for selecting LUAD populations likely to benefit from future clinical stratification efforts.
