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

Background: Signaling pathways play crucial roles in tumor cells. However, functional heterogeneity of signaling pathways in skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) has not been established. Methods: Based on a recent computational pipeline, pathway activities between SKCM and normal samples were identified. Results: The results showed that high activities in 12 pathways were associated with poor prognoses, while high activities in 17 pathways were associated with favorable prognoses. Interestingly, elevated metabolic pathway activity was unfavorable, whereas elevated immune activity was favorable for SKCM. Unfavorably elevated metabolic pathways strongly correlated with Wnt/beta-catenin signaling. Conversely, favorable pathways, such as glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis and keratan sulfate, were strongly correlated with anti-tumor pathways. Moreover, the activities of favorable pathways were strongly positively correlated with infiltrating CD8 Conclusion: Taken together, our study provides insights into the characteristics of several pathways in SKCM.
