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
backgroundSoft tissue sarcoma (STS) represents highly multifarious malignant tumors that often occur in adolescents and have a poor prognosis. The basement membrane, as an ancient cellular matrix, was recently proven to play a vital role in developing abundant tumors. The relationship between basement membrane-related genes and STS remains unknown.
methodsConsensus clustering was employed to identify subgroups related to differentially expressed basement membrane-related genes. Cox and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression analyses were utilized to construct this novel signature. Then, we established a nomogram and calibration curve, including the risk score and available clinical characteristics. Finally, we carried out functional enrichment analysis and immune microenvironment analysis to investigate enriched pathways and the tumor immune microenvironment related to the novel signature.
resultsA prognostic predictive signature consisting of eight basement membrane-related genes was established. Kaplan-Meier survival curves demonstrated that the patients in the high-risk group had a poor prognosis. Independent analysis illustrated that this risk model could be an independent prognostic predictor. We validated the accuracy of our signature in the validation data set. In addition, gene set enrichment analysis and immune microenvironment analysis showed that patients with low-risk scores were enriched in some pathways associated with immunity. Finally, in vitro experiments showed significantly differential expression levels of these signature genes in STS cells and PSAT1 could promote the malignant behavior of STS.
conclusionsThe novel signature is a promising prognostic predictor for STS. The present study may improve the prognosis and enhance individualized treatment for STS in the future.
