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

Osteosarcoma is one of the most common malignant bone tumours in children. In this study, we aimed to construct a cuproptosis-related lncRNAs signature to predict the prognosis and immune landscape of osteosarcoma patients. Databases from TARGET were used to acquire osteosarcoma patient datasets, which included clinical information and RNA sequencing data. Cuproptosis-related lncRNAs was obtained by correlation analysis. Through univariate Cox regression analysis, prognosis-related lncRNAs were obtained. We used nonnegative matrix factorization clustering to identify potential molecular subgroups with different cuproptosis-related lncRNA expression patterns. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator algorithm and multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to construct the prognostic signature. The ESTIMATE algorithm, Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes were applied to explore the underlying mechanisms in the immune landscape of osteosarcoma. We used gene set enrichment analysis to compare the different enrichments in the high-risk group and the low-risk group. Furthermore, we predicted the response to targeted drugs in patients with different risk groups. Using multivariable analysis, we developed a risk scoring model based on 7 long noncoding RNAs and calculated two molecular subgroups from osteosarcoma patients from the database. There is a better immune microenvironment in the low-risk group compared to the high-risk group. At the same time, the gene functional enrichment analysis based on the differently expressed genes obtained by grouping showed they were mainly related to immunity, indicating that cuproptosis-related lncRNAs may affect the prognosis of osteosarcoma by regulating immunity. Moreover, these patients in high-risk group were more susceptible to targeted drugs than the low-risk group. We identified a cuproptosis-related lncRNA prognostic signature for osteosarcoma and showed a close connection in terms of immunity. Moreover, we provided some potential targeted drugs for the treatment of osteosarcoma.
