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

backgroundLung cancer is a malignant tumor with the highest incidence and mortality around the world. Recent advances in RNA sequencing technology have enabled insights into long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), a previously largely overlooked species in dissecting lung cancer pathology.

methodsIn this study, we used a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis strategy to identify lncRNAs closely associated with lung adenocarcinoma, using the RNA sequencing datasets collected from more than 500 lung adenocarcinoma patients and deposited at The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database.

resultsDifferential expression analysis highlighted lncRNAs CTD-2510F5.4 and CTB-193M12.5, both of which were significantly upregulated in cancerous specimens. Moreover, network analyses showed highly correlated expression levels of both lncRNAs with those of differentially expressed protein-coding genes, and suggested central regulatory roles of both lncRNAs in the gene co-expression network. Importantly, expression of CTB-193M12.5 showed strong negative correlation with patient survival.

conclusionsOur study mined existing TCGA datasets for novel factors associated with lung adenocarcinoma, and identified a largely unknown lncRNA as a potential prognostic factor. Further investigation is warranted to characterize the roles and significance of CTB-193M12.5 in lung adenocarcinoma biology.
