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 one of the most common malignancies in the lung. T cell exhaustion (TEX) is an important immune escape mechanism that may be targeted to improve tumor immunotherapy. The present study investigated TEX‑related genes in the tumor microenvironment to predict the prognosis of patients with LUAD. Data from 516 patients with LUAD were collected from The Cancer Genome Atlas database and classified them into TEX‑C1 and TEX‑C2 by unsupervised clustering based on the TEX‑related genes. Compared with TEX‑C1, TEX‑C2 cluster had worse prognosis, with shorter overall and progression‑free survival. Functional analysis revealed that upregulated genes in the TEX‑C2 cluster were significantly enriched in tumor immune‑ and metabolism‑related pathways. TEX‑C2 cluster had a poor immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) response and a shorter survival after ICB treatment by Tumor Immune Dysfunction and Exclusion algorithm. A prognostic TEX‑related gene signature was constructed for patients with LUAD by Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator regression analysis. B cell antigen receptor complex‑associated protein β chain (CD79B) was considered an independent prognostic indicator; in the clinical correlation analysis, the effect of CD79B on prognosis was associated with advanced lung cancer, advanced age, female sex and patients with history of smoking. The overexpression of CD79B was associated with more infiltration of CD8
