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

The use of large transcriptome datasets has greatly improved our understanding of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and helped develop precise immunotherapies. The growing application of multi-omics, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), and spatial transcriptome sequencing has led to many new insights, yet these findings still require clinical validation in large cohorts. To advance multi-omics integration in TME research, we have upgraded the Immuno-Oncology Biological Research (IOBR) package to IOBR 2.0, restructuring and standardizing its analytical workflow. IOBR 2.0 offers six modules for TME analysis based on multi-omics data, including data preprocessing, TME estimation, TME infiltration pattern identification, cellular interaction analysis, genome and TME interaction, and feature visualization, as well as modeling. Additionally, IOBR 2.0 enables constructing gene signatures and reference matrices from scRNA-seq data for TME deconvolution. The user-friendly pipeline provides comprehensive insights into tumor-immune interactions, and a detailed GitBook(https://iobr.github.io/book/) offers a complete manual and analysis guide for each module.
