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

backgroundHypoxia-related genes are linked to the prognosis of various solid malignant tumors. However, the role of hypoxia-related long non-coding RNAs (HRLs) in uveal melanoma (UVM) remains unclear. This study aimed to identify HRLs associated with UVM prognosis and develop a novel risk signature to predict patient outcomes.

methodsData from 80 UVM samples were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas. Prognostic HRLs were screened using Cox univariate and Pearson correlation analyses. HRL signature were constructed using Lasso analysis, and gene enrichment analysis was performed to explore the association between HRLs and immune features. Cell Counting Kit-8 assay was used to measure the propagation of human uveal melanoma (MuM2B) cells, while tumor invasion and migration were evaluated using Transwell and wound-healing experiments. Inflammatory factors and macrophage polarization were evaluated using quantitative PCR.

resultsIn total, 621 prognostic HRLs were screened and constructed in 12 HRLs. The risk score showed a significant correlation with the survival time of patients with UVM. Additionally, HRL correlated with diverse key immune checkpoints, revealing possible targets for immunotherapy. Immune-related pathways were highly enriched in the high-risk group. LINC02367, a protective HRL, was associated with the tumor microenvironment and survival time of patients with UVM. In vitro, LINC02367 significantly influenced MuM2B proliferation and migration. It also modulated macrophage polarization by regulating inflammatory factor levels, thereby affecting the immune microenvironment.

conclusionsWe developed a novel HRL signature to predict prognosis in patients with UVM. HRLs are potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for the treatment of UVM.
