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

Our laboratory previously reported an individual-level signature consisting of nine gene pairs, named 9-GPS. This signature was developed by training on microarray expression data and validated using three independent integrated microarray data sets, with samples of stage I non-small-cell lung cancer after complete surgical resection. In this study, we first validated the cross-platform robustness of 9-GPS by demonstrating that 9-GPS could significantly stratify the overall survival of 213 stage I lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients detected with RNA-sequencing platform in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA; log-rank P = 0.0318, C-index = 0.55). Applying 9-GPS to all the 423 stage I-IV LUAD samples in TCGA, the predicted high-risk samples were significantly enriched with clinically diagnosed metastatic samples (Fisher's exact test, P = 0.0015). We further modified the voting rule of 9-GPS and found that the modified 9-GPS had a better performance in predicting metastasis states (Fisher's exact test, P < 0.0001). With the aid of the modified 9-GPS for reclassifying the metastasis states of patients with LUAD, the reclassified metastatic samples presented clearer transcriptional and genomic characteristics compared to the reclassified nonmetastatic samples. Finally, regulator network analysis identified TP53 and IRF1 with frequent genomic aberrations in the reclassified metastatic samples, indicating their key roles in driving tumor metastasis. In conclusion, 9-GPS is a robust signature for identifying early-stage LUAD patients with potential occult metastasis. This occult metastasis prediction was associated with clear transcriptional and genomic characteristics as well as the clinical diagnoses.
