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: Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) prognosis remains poor despite treatment advances. More accurate prognostic assessment models can help guide individualized treatment and improve prognosis. Chronic inflammation contributes to tumorigenesis, yet inflammatory response-related genes (IRGs) in LSCC prognosis are underexplored. This study aimed to construct an IRG prognostic signature for LSCC and further dissect core IRG-mediated mechanisms of immune escape and chemoresistance. Methods: Transcriptional profiles and clinical data from LSCC patients were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). IRGs were sourced from Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) hallmark gene set. We identified differentially expressed IRGs linked to survival outcomes in LSCC. Key IRGs were subsequently selected using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression analysis to establish an inflammatory risk score model. This model underwent internal validation within the TCGA cohort and external validation using independent Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets. We further assessed the model's association with the tumor immune microenvironment and the impact of IRGs on chemotherapy response. Finally, the functional roles of interested signature IRG were experimentally validated in LSCC cell lines. Results: Four significant IRGs ( Conclusions: The 4-IRG risk signature is a reliable prognostic indicator reflecting immune dysfunction in LSCC. SERPINE1 is validated as a therapeutic target and biomarker, enriching our understanding of gene regulation dynamics in LSCC.
