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: Disulfidptosis and ferroptosis are two different programmed cell death pathways, and their potential therapeutic targets have important clinical prospects. Although there is an association between the two, the role of genes associated with these two forms of cell death in the development of endometrial cancer remains unclear. Methods: In this study, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and clinical data were obtained from public databases, and comprehensive analysis methods, including difference analysis, univariate Cox regression, and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) analysis were used to construct a disulfidptosis/ferroptosis-related genes (DFRGs) prognostic signature. To further explore this new feature, pathway and functional analyses were performed, and the differences in gene mutation frequency and the level of immune cell infiltration between the high- and low-risk groups were studied. Finally, we validated the prognostic gene expression profile in clinical samples. Results: We identified five optimal DFRGs that were differentially expressed and associated with the prognosis of uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC). These genes include CDKN2A, FZD7, LCN2, ACTN4, and MYH10. Based on these DFRGs, we constructed a robust prognostic model with significantly lower overall survival in the high-risk group than in the low-risk group, with differences in tumor burden and immune invasion between the different risk groups. The expression of two key genes, ACTN4 and LCN2, was verified by immunohistochemistry and RT-qPCR. Conclusion: This study established a clinical prognostic model associated with disulfidptosis/ferroptosis-related genes, and the expression characteristics of key genes were validated in clinical samples. The comprehensive assessment of disulfidptosis and ferroptosis provides new insights to further guide patient clinical management and personalized treatment.
