Stromal cell-expressed malignant gene patterns contribute to the progression of squamous cell carcinomas across different sites.
Article in Frontiers in genetics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) across different anatomical locations possess common molecular features. Recent studies showed that stromal cells may contribute to tumor progression and metastasis of SCCs. Limited by current sequencing technology and analysis methods, it has been difficult to combine stroma expression profiles with a large number of clinical information. Methods: With the help of transfer learning on the cell line, single-cell, and bulk tumor sequencing data, we identified and validated 2 malignant gene patterns (V1 and V5) expressed by stromal cells of SCCs from head and neck (HNSCC), lung (LUSC), cervix (CESC), esophagus, and breast. Results: Pattern V5 reflected a novel malignant feature that explained the mixed signals of HNSCC molecular subtypes. Higher expression of pattern V5 was related to shorter PFI with gender and cancer-type specificity. The other stromal gene pattern V1 was associated with poor PFI in patients after surgery in all the three squamous cancer types (HNSCC Conclusion: Considering the prognostic value of stromal gene patterns and its universality, we suggest that the genetic subtype classification of SCCs may be improved to a new system that integrates both malignant and non-malignant components.
