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: DNA repair plays a crucial role in the development and progression of different types of cancers. Nevertheless, little is known about the role of DNA repair-related genes (DRRGs) in esophageal cancer (EC). The present study aimed to identify a novel DRRGs prognostic signature in EC. Methods: Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed to screen 150 genes related to DNA repair, which is the most important enrichment gene set in EC. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to screen DRRGs closely associated with prognosis. The difference in the expression of hub DRRGs between tumor and normal tissues was analyzed. Combined with clinical indicators (including age, gender, and tumor stage), we evaluated whether the 4-DRRGs signature was an independent prognostic factor. In addition, we evaluated the prediction accuracy using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and visualized the model's performance via a nomogram. Results: Four-DRRGs ( Conclusions: In conclusion, we identified a prognostic signature based on the DRRGs for patients with EC, which can contribute independent value in identifying clinical outcomes that complement the TNM system in EC.
