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

Background: Circadian disruption promotes tumor progression and therapy resistance, but its prognostic value and impact on the tumor immune microenvironment in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) remain unclear. This study aimed to develop a circadian-immune-related gene signature to improve LUSC risk stratification and therapy guidance. Methods: We integrated multi-omics data from LUSC patients (n=494) across The Cancer Genome Atlas and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database GSE73403 (n=69). A circadian-immune-related gene prognostic signature (CIGPS) was constructed from 1,677 circadian rhythm-related genes through weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and ten machine learning algorithms (StepCox + GBM optimized) and externally validated. Bioinformatics analyses assessed the tumor immune microenvironment, mutation landscape, and therapy response. Single-cell RNA sequencing data (GSE148071) explored gene expression at cellular resolution. Results: A six-gene CIGPS was developed, comprising Conclusions: The CIGPS serves as a potent prognostic tool that elucidates the heterogeneous tumor immune microenvironment in LUSC. It holds significant promise for guiding risk assessment and informing personalized therapeutic strategies based on distinct molecular subtypes.
