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

introductionHistologically lung cancer is classified into four major types: adenocarcinoma (Ad), squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC), large cell carcinoma (LCC), and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Presently, our understanding of cellular metabolism among them is still not clear.

objectivesThe goal of this study was to assess the cellular metabolic profiles across these four types of lung cancer using an untargeted metabolomics approach.

methodsSix lung cancer cell lines, viz., Ad (A549 and HCC827), SqCC (NCl-H226 and NCl-H520), LCC (NCl-H460), and SCLC (NCl-H526), were analyzed using liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry, with normal human small airway epithelial cells (SAEC) as the control group. The principal component analysis (PCA) was performed to identify the metabolic signatures that had characteristic alterations in each histological type. Further, a metabolite set enrichment analysis was performed for pathway analysis.

resultsCompared to the SAEC, 31, 27, 34, 34, 32, and 39 differential metabolites mainly in relation to nucleotides, amino acid, and fatty acid metabolism were identified in A549, HCC827, NCl-H226, NCl-H520, NCl-H460, and NCl-H526 cells, respectively. The metabolic signatures allowed the six cancerous cell lines to be clearly separated in a PCA score plot.

conclusionThe metabolic signatures are unique to each histological type, and appeared to be related to their cell-of-origin and mutation status. The changes are useful for assessing the metabolic characteristics of lung cancer, and offer potential for the establishment of novel diagnostic tools for different origin and oncogenic mutation of lung cancer.
