Identification of disulfidptosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma based on single-cell and bulk RNA-seq data to predict prognosis and treatment response.

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.
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
Purpose: Our study aims to identify the molecular subtypes of genes associated with disulfidptosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC), develop a prognostic model, and identify potential therapeutic targets. Methods: Based on the GSE53625 expression profile data, we identified molecular subtypes with significant survival differences through consensus cluster analysis. Subsequently, univariate Cox, multivariate Cox, and LASSO-Cox regression analysis were used to establish risk stratification models. The transcriptome data of the TCGA-ESCC cohort and the GSE160269 single-cell sequencing dataset were integrated to verify the biological significance of the model, and further analyze the heterogeneity of the tumor immune microenvironment, explore the differences in the intercellular communication network, and screen potential targeted drugs, providing a theoretical basis for subsequent translational research. Results: We identified two distinct patterns of disulfidptosis expression with significant differences in overall survival. Then, we constructed the prognostic signature of disulfidptosis, and results showed patients with high score had worse prognosis. Univariate and multivariate Cox analysis demonstrated that the constructed prognostic signature was an independent prognostic factor and was validated in an independent validation set. The two subgroups differed in the proportion of immune cell infiltration and related signaling pathways in ESCC. The exploration of immunotherapy data confirmed our prognostic signature also had certain predictive power for immunotherapy. Drug screening suggested AZD8186 and JQ1 as potential therapies for high-score patients. Conclusion: This study provides a new prognostic signature for ESCC, explores new therapeutic targets, and provides new theoretical support for personalized treatment.
