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

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for approximately 35-40% of lung cancers, and the overall survival time of patients with LUAD is still very poor. B cells are important effector cells of adaptive immunity, and B-cell infiltration increases in various tumors. The role of B cells in LUAD is still largely unknown. Therefore, it is particularly important to clarify the role of B cells in LUAD. GSE164983, GSE50081, GSE37745 and GSE30219 were obtained from the GEO database. The TCGA-LUAD dataset was obtained from the TCGA database. UMAP was used to perform clustering descending and subgroup identification on single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data to obtain B-cell markers. The TCGA cohort was used to obtain differentially expressed genes (DEGs). B-cell-related differentially expressed genes (BRGs) were identified through the intersection of B-cell markers and DEGs. The LASSO method was used to identify characteristic genes of BRGs and construct a prognostic risk model. LUAD patients were divided into high-risk and low-risk groups based on risk scores, and the immune landscape of the two groups was evaluated. We also analyzed the differences in clinical characteristics, mutations, immunotherapy, and drug sensitivity between the two groups. Thirty BRGs were obtained, and 6 characteristic genes were identified. Based on the characteristic genes, a prognostic risk model was constructed. According to the prognostic risk model, LUAD patients were divided into two groups: high-risk group and low-risk group. Patients in the high-risk group had worse outcomes and shorter survival times. Low-risk patients had better survival, while patients with high TNM stage accounted for a greater proportion of patients in the high-risk group. In addition, high-risk patients had a greater probability of mutation and worse immunotherapy response. Finally, we found different susceptibility profiles between the high-risk and low-risk groups. The prognostic risk model built based on the BRGs had good predictive performance, providing a new perspective on the prognosis and immunotherapy of LUAD patients and a new reference for LUAD research.
