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

In this study, single-cell RNA-seq data were collected to analyze the characteristics of Histone deacetylation factor (HDF). The tumor microenvironment (TME) cell clusters related to prognosis and immune response were identified by using CRC tissue transcriptome and immunotherapy cohorts from public repository. We explored the expression characteristics of HDF in stromal cells, macrophages, T lymphocytes, and B lymphocytes of the CRC single-cell dataset TME and further identified 4 to 6 cell subclusters using the expression profiles of HDF-associated genes, respectively. The regulatory role of HDF-associated genes on the CRC tumor microenvironment was explored by using single-cell trajectory analysis, and the cellular subtypes identified by biologically characterized genes were compared with those identified by HDF-associated genes. The interaction of HDF-associated gene-mediated microenvironmental cell subtypes and tumor epithelial cells were explored by using intercellular communication analysis, revealing the molecular regulatory mechanism of tumor epithelial cell heterogeneity. Based on the expression of feature genes mediated by HDF-related genes in the microenvironment T-cell subtypes, enrichment scoring was performed on the feature gene expression in the CRC tumor tissue transcriptome dataset. It was found that the feature gene scoring of microenvironment T-cell subtypes (HDF-TME score) has a certain predictive ability for the prognosis and immunotherapy benefits of CRC tumor patients, providing data support for precise immunotherapy in CRC tumors.
