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

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) are reported to be potential cancer biomarkers. This study aims to find new lncRNA biomarker relevant to lung adenocarcinoma. Gene expression profile and clinical data of lung adenocarcinoma and lung squamous cell carcinoma patients were downloaded from the UCSC Xena database. These data were analyzed to identify potential lncRNA prognostic biomarkers, and the candidate lncRNAs were analyzed and verified with association analysis, meta-analysis, survival analysis, gene ontology analysis, gene set enrichment analysis, and other statistical methods. A group of 5 lncRNAs was identified from the 1965 differentially expressed (fold-change >2) genes. Four of these 5 lncRNAs were expressed at a lower level in lung adenocarcinoma tissues and the other one at a higher level (P < .0001). A risk score model was constructed using a linear combination of the expression levels of these lncRNAs. High-risk patients showed poorer overall survival (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.14; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.67-3.06, P < .0001), disease-free survival (HR = 1.84; 95% CI, 1.26-2.35, P = .0007), and recurrence-free survival (HR = 1.51; 95% CI, 1.02-2.40, P = .04). The 5-fold cross-validation and subsequent meta-analysis further verified that patients in the low-risk group had better survival (95% CI, 0.74-1.79, Z = 4.72, P < .00001). Furthermore, both univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses revealed that the prognostic value of these 5 lncRNAs was independent of other clinical prognostic factors. Further analysis indicated that these 5 lncRNAs might be associated with tumor metastasis. Taken together, our study suggests new prognostic lncRNA biomarkers for lung adenocarcinoma.
