Developing prognostic models for cholesterol-related genes linked with immune infiltration in prostate cancer.
Article in Frontiers in genetics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Prostate cancer has a high incidence and a low 5-year survival rate. We aimed to combine cholesterol- and immune-related genes to screen prostate cancer prognosis-related genes and construct a prognostic risk model. Methods: We obtained publicly released clinical data of prostate cancer through The Cancer Genome Atlas. Cholesterol- and immune-related genes were separately collected from the mSigDB and ImmPort databases. The prognostic model based on the immune-cholesterol-related differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) network was constructed by univariate and multivariate Cox regression methods. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), mutation landscape analysis, and immune infiltration analysis were carried out to investigate the role of immune-cholesterol-related DEmRNAs in prostate cancer. Results: We identified 11 immune-cholesterogenic-related DEmRNAs (C2orf88, TRPM4, SAPCD2, RHPN1, RAC3, APOF, PTGS2, TSPAN1, KLK4, ENTPD5, and C1orf64) as risk factors that were related to the occurrence and development of prostate cancer by bioinformatics analysis. Immune infiltration analysis suggested immune-cholesterol-related DEmRNAs may act in an immunomodulatory role for treatment decisions. The proportion of plasma cells, memory resting CD4 T cells, and neutrophils in the low-risk group was significantly higher than that in the high-risk group (p < 0.05). The GSEA revealed DEmRNAs were enriched in 58 Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways, consisting of hematopoietic cell lineage, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. The Gleason score of the high-risk group showed a significant difference from that of the low-risk group after clinical data analysis (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The prognostic risk model and nomogram constructed based on the immune-cholesterol-related genes had a great prognostic performance for prostate cancer.
