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

Background: Cutaneous melanoma is a highly heterogeneous cancer, and understanding the role of inflammation-related genes in its progression is crucial. Methods: The cohorts used include the TCGA cohort from TCGA database, and GSE115978, GSE19234, GSE22153 cohort, and GSE65904 cohort from GEO database. Weighted Gene Coexpression Network Analysis (WGCNA) identified key inflammatory modules. Machine learning techniques were employed to construct prognostic models, which were validated across multiple cohorts, including the TCGA cohort, GSE19234, GSE22153, and GSE65904. Immune cell infiltration, tumor mutation load, and immunotherapy response were assessed. The hub gene STAT1 was validated through cellular experiments. Results: Single-cell analysis revealed heterogeneity in inflammation-related genes, with NK cells, T cells, and macrophages showing elevated inflammation-related scores. WGCNA identified a module highly associated with inflammation. Machine learning yielded a CoxBoost + GBM prognostic model. The model effectively stratified patients into high-risk and low-risk groups in multiple cohorts. A nomogram and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves confirmed the model's accuracy. Low-risk patients exhibited increased immune cell infiltration, higher Tumor Mutational Burden (TMB), and potentially better immunotherapy response. Cellular experiments validated the functional role of STAT1 in melanoma progression. Conclusion: Inflammation-related genes play a critical role in cutaneous melanoma progression. The developed prognostic model, nomogram, and validation experiments highlight the potential clinical relevance of these genes and provide a basis for further investigation into personalized treatment strategies for melanoma patients.
