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

During the last decade, a growing number of publications implicate NF-kB2 in NSCLC pathogenesis. Here, we investigated the clinical relevance of NF-kB2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs7897947, rs11574852 and rs12769316 in NSCLC and their association with NF-kB2 protein and mRNA levels. Our data show that TT (rs7897947T >G) and AA (rs12769316G >A) genotypes were strongly associated with an increased risk for NSCLC (P = 0.019 and P = 0.003, respectively). Additionally, in multivariate analysis, TT (rs7897947T >G) homozygosity was associated with worse 2- and 3-year survival rates (P = 0.030 and P = 0.028, respectively), especially among patients with stages III/IV, who had worse 2, 3 and 5-year survival (P = 0.001, P = 0.022 and P = 0.035, respectively). In chemotherapy-treated patients, TT (rs12769316G >A) homozygosity was also associated with worse 2- and 3-year survival compared to G allele carriers (P = 0.006 and P = 0.014, respectively). Furthermore, rs12769316 was correlated with survival outcome of stage I and II patients (P = 0.031 and P = 0.006, respectively). Interestingly, amongst the patients who developed metastases, A allele carriers had better 5-year survival (P = 0.020). In addition, rs12769316 was associated with NF-kB2 protein (P = 0.001) and mRNA expression (P = 0.017) as well as with tumor maximum diameter (P = 0.025). Overall, this study suggests that rs7897947 and rs12769316 are involved in NSCLC susceptibility, in treatment response and in clinical outcome.
