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

backgroundOvarian cancer (OV) is one of the deadliest gynecologic cancers, and approximately 75% of serous ovarian cancer (SOC) patients are diagnosed at advanced stages due to the lack of effective biomarkers.

objectiveImmunogenic cell death (ICD) has been investigated in many comprehensive studies, and the role of ICD in ovarian cancer and its impact on immunotherapy is not yet known.

methodsThe NMF clustering analysis was employed to categorize OV samples into different subgroups. Survival, mutation, and CNV analyses were performed in these clusters. ESTIMATE, CIBERSORT, TIDE, and drug sensitivity analyses (based on GDSC) were also performed on the subtypes. Then, differentially expressed immunogenic cell death genes (DE-ICDGs) in OV were obtained by crossing the DEGs between cluster3 vs. cluster1, DEGs from the TCGA-GTEx dataset, and DEGs from the GSE40595 dataset. Functional enrichment analysis of DE-ICDGs was then performed. The signature genes related to the prognosis of OV in three OV datasets were excavated by drawing Kaplan-Meier curves. Finally, quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed to verify the expression trends of the signature genes.

resultsThe NMF clustering analysis categorized OV samples into three distinct groups according to the expression levels of ICDGs, with differential analysis indicating that Cluster3 represented the subgroup with high ICD expression. Mutation and CNV analysis did not differ significantly between clusters, but Amp and Del's numbers did. Immuno- infiltration analysis revealed that cluster3 showed significant differences from cluster1 and cluster2. Immunotherapy and drug sensitivity analysis showed differences in immunotherapy and chemotherapy sensitivity between the clusters. The DEGs in cluster3 vs. cluster1, TCGA-GTEx dataset and GSE40595 dataset were intersected to obtain a total of 71 DE-ICDGs, and functional enrichment result suggested that the DE-ICDGs were significantly correlated with inflammatory response, complement system and positive regulation of cytokine production. 2 DE-ICDGs (FN1 and LUM) were identified that were associated with OV prognosis and were validated significantly down-regulated in the SOC group with PCR.

conclusionWe identified ICD-associated subtypes of OV and mined 2 OV prognostic genes (FN1 and LUM) associated with ICD, which may have important implications for OV prognosis and therapy.
