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

backgroundThere were not many studies on predictive indicators of elderly rectal cancer (ERC) based on transcriptome level. Immune related genes (IRGs) have been shown to be associated with cancer, however, their role in ERC had not been fully explored.

methodsFor the first time, IRGs associated with ERC prognosis were identified using univariate Cox regression analysis. Based on the screened IRGs, consistent clustering analysis and prognostic difference analysis were conducted and a prognostic model was constructed through multivariate Cox regression. The model was validated on an independent dataset. The patients were grouped based on the median risk score. Simultaneously conduct immune infiltration analysis, enrichment analysis and drug sensitivity evaluation.

resultsThe prognostic value of IRGs in ERC patients had been comprehensively analyzed for the first time and identified 3 IRGs with prognostic values. Consensus cluster analysis based on 3 IRGs revealed that the two identified clusters had prognostic differences. A prognostic model was constructed based on 3 IRGs and validated in an independent dataset. The signature was an independent risk factor for ERC patients, 3 IRGs were related to the immune microenvironment of ERC.

conclusionsThis research provides a fundamental theoretical basis for guiding the treatment of ERC patients.
