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

Survival analysis plays a critical role in predicting patient outcomes and guiding personalized cancer therapies. Although multi-omics data provide rich biological insights, their high dimensionality poses significant challenges for robust analysis and clinical implementation. While many studies rely on the traditional Cox proportional hazards model, few have explored alternative survival algorithms combined with rigorous feature selection to identify low-dimensional, clinically feasible prognostic signatures that retain strong predictive power comparable to models using the full feature set. To address these gaps, we developed PRISM (PRognostic marker Identification and Survival Modelling through Multi-omics Integration), a comprehensive framework aimed at improving survival prediction and discovering minimal yet robust biomarker panels across multiple omics modalities. PRISM systematically evaluates various feature selection methods and survival models through a robust pipeline that selects features within single-omics datasets before integrating them via feature-level fusion and multi-stage refinement. Applied to TCGA cohorts of Breast Invasive Carcinoma (BRCA), Cervical Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Endocervical Adenocarcinoma (CESC), Ovarian Serous Cystadenocarcinoma (OV), and Uterine Corpus Endometrial Carcinoma (UCEC), PRISM revealed that cancer types benefit from unique combinations of omics modalities reflecting their molecular heterogeneity. Notably, miRNA expression consistently provided complementary prognostic information across all cancers, enhancing integrated model performance (C-index: BRCA 0.698, CESC 0.754, UCEC 0.754, OV 0.618). PRISM advances cancer prognosis by delivering scalable, interpretable multi-omics integration and identifying concise biomarker signatures with performance comparable to full-feature models, promoting clinical feasibility and precision oncology.
