Multi-cohort validation based on coagulation-related genes for predicting prognosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

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
Objective: In malignant tumors, a hypercoagulable state is frequently observed and is intricately intertwined with cancer development and the remodeling of the immune microenvironment. Recently, the coagulation-related genes (CRGs) signature has emerged as highly significant for the prognosis and immunotherapy of patients with various cancers. Nevertheless, their application in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains uninvestigated. Here, our objective is to explore the role of the CRGs signature in forecasting prognosis and predicting patient's response to immunotherapy. Methods: According to the prognostic CRGs, consensus clustering was utilized to stratify ESCC patients in the GSE53625 cohort into two subgroups. Subsequently, difference analysis and univariate cox analysis were conducted on the two subgroups, and a CRGs signature was constructed by leveraging these genes. Next, multiple RNA transcriptome cohorts were utilized to validate the signature. Moreover, functional enrichment, tumor mutation burden (TMB), tumor infiltration, immune function, and immunotherapy response of this signature were investigated. Results: A CRGs signature composed of six genes (PTX3, CILP, CFHR4, SULT1B1, IL5RA, and FAM151A) was constructed. This signature serves as an independent and reliable prognostic factor. Additionally, when compared with the 32 prognostic signatures previously reported, the CRGs signature exhibited superior performance in the ESCC prognostic cohorts. Additionally, we found that high-risk ESCC exhibited higher immune infiltration, lower TMB, higher TIDE, and a lower proportion of immunotherapy response. Conclusions: We constructed and validated a robust CRGs signature. Moreover, as one of the model CRGs, the tumor-suppressive role of SULT1B1 in ESCC was experimentally verified
