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

An in-house enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed in this study to detect circulating IgG antibodies to peptide antigens derived from baculoviral IAP repeat-containing protein 5 isoform 2 (BIRC5) and myc proto-oncogene protein (MYC) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Student's t-test revealed that circulating anti-MYC IgG levels were significantly increased in patients with NSCLC compared with control subjects in the discovery sample (t = 3.96, P = 0.0001) but not in the validation sample (t = 1.24, P = 0.217), generating a combined P-value of 0.0003. Neither the discovery sample nor the validation sample showed a significant change in anti-BIRC5 IgG levels in NSCLC. Further analysis was performed to investigate whether circulating IgG antibodies to these two tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) significantly changed with early (stages I + II) and late (stages III + IV) NSCLC stages. The results showed that neither anti-MYC IgG nor anti-BIRC5 IgG levels significantly changed in patients with early stage NSCLC, while patients with late stage NSCLC had higher levels of circulating anti-MYC IgG than control subjects in the discovery sample (t = 4.74, P < 0.0001) but not in the validation sample (t = 0.80, P = 0.423), generating a combined P-value of 0.00003 (X (2) = 26.13, df = 4). In conclusion, circulating IgG antibodies to MYC and BIRC5 do not appear to serve as biomarkers for early diagnosis of lung cancer but anti-MYC IgG might have a prognostic value.
