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: Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is a prevalent type of head and neck cancer with a poor prognosis due to late diagnosis and limited biomarkers. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) play a critical role in cancer biology, but their involvement in LSCC is not well understood. This study aimed to explore NET's role in LSCC. Methods: Differentially expressed NET-related genes (DE-NRGs) were identified using GSE10935 datasets and data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Functional enrichment and pathway analyses were conducted to elucidate their roles. Consensus clustering identified LSCC molecular subtypes. Immune landscape analyses revealed the tumor microenvironment of different subtypes. A prognostic model was developed using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator​(LASSO) regression and validated in external datasets. Results: We identified 27 DE-NRGs in LSCC, and these genes were involved in heparin binding, cytokine activity, and leukocyte migration. Three molecular subtypes (C1, C2, and C3) were identified, with C3 showing the worst prognosis. Immune landscape analysis revealed significant differences in immune cell infiltration among subtypes. Higher expression of immune checkpoint genes in C2 suggested better immunotherapy outcomes. The prognostic model, based on seven hub DE-NRGs ( Conclusions: The study identified DE-NRGs as potential biomarkers and developed a robust prognostic model for LSCC. These findings offer insights into LSCC's molecular basis and highlight NETs' role in prognosis and immune landscape.
