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

The purpose of this study was to identify potential molecular markers of lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC). Three datasets containing LUSC mRNA sequencing data were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus, The Cancer Genome Atlas and the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis databases. These datasets were used to identify significantly differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in LUSC. A protein-protein interaction network of the DEGs was constructed followed by Gene Ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes and overall survival analyses of the DEGs. A total of 37 DEGs between LUSC and normal tissues were identified, including 26 downregulated genes and 11 upregulated genes. Biological Process enrichment analysis revealed that the DEGs were mainly enriched in 'cell adhesion', 'cell-matrix adhesion', 'anatomical structure morphogenesis', 'ECM-receptor interaction' and 'focal adhesion'. Overall survival analysis demonstrated that transcription factor 21, α-2-macroglobulin, acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 5, integrin subunit β8, meiotic nuclear divisions 1 and secretoglobin family 1A member 1 were significantly associated with the occurrence and development of lung cancer, and these genes were selected as hub genes. The results obtained in the present study may aid the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms involved in the development of LUSC and may provide potential targets for LUSC treatment.
