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

backgroundGenome-wide association studies have indicated that most of the currently identified disease and trait-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are intronic or intergenic. RegulomeDB is a recently developed database that provides functional annotations for regulatory features of SNPs located in non-coding regions. We evaluated the potential regulatory SNPs in the EGFR gene region using RegulomeDB and their associations with prognosis after surgery in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.

methodsA total of 698 patients with surgically resected NSCLC were enrolled and seven SNPs were selected based on the RegulomeDB database. All SNPs were genotyped using SEQUENOM MassARRAY iPLEX assay.

resultsAmong the seven SNPs evaluated, rs9642391 (EGFR ivs19+2851C>G) was significantly associated with survival outcome (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] for overall survival = 0.70, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.56-0.87, P = 0.001; adjusted HR for disease-free survival = 0.82, 95% CI 0.70-0.97, P = 0.02; under a codominant model). According to RegulomeDB, rs9642391C>G, which is located in intron 19 of EGFR, was predicted to influence the expression of GBAS but not EGFR. As predicted, rs9642391C>G was associated with GBAS (P = 0.024) but not EGFR messenger RNA expression in tumor tissues.

conclusionIn conclusion, our study provides evidence that rs9642391C>G in the intron of EGFR is associated with GBAS expression and survival outcomes of patients with surgically resected early-stage NSCLC.
