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

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a common diagnosed disease with high-mortality rate, and its prognostic implications are under discovered. DNA methylation aberrations are not only an important event for dysregulation of gene expression during tumorigenesis but also a revolution in epigenetics by identifying key prognostic biomarkers for multiple cancers. In this study, we analyzed methylation status of 485 578 CpG sites and RNA-seq transcriptomes of 20 532 genes for 1095 LUAD samples in TCGA database. The association between DNA methylation and the prognostic value of the corresponding gene expression was identified as well. In total, ten aberrantly methylated and dysregulated genes (AURKA, BLK, CNTN2, HMGA1, PTTG1, TNS4, DAPK2, MFSD2A, THSD1, and WNT7A) were highlighted which were significantly correlated with overall survival of 492 LUAD patients, which were all reported as tumor-associated genes in other various cancers and worthy of further investigated and might be used as therapeutic targets for LUAD. Together, methylation aberrances regulate gene expression level during tumorigenesis and influence prognosis of LUAD patients. Integrating knowledge of epigenetics and expression of genes can be useful for an in-depth understanding of cancer mechanism and for the eventual purpose of precisely prognostic and therapeutic target verification.
