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 cancer is one of the most common types of malignancy worldwide. The prognosis of lung cancer is poor, due to the onset of metastases. The aim of the present study was to examine lung cancer metastasis-associated genes. To identify novel metastasis-associated targets, our previous study detected the differentially expressed mRNAs and long non-coding RNAs between the large-cell lung cancer high-metastatic 95D cell line and the low-metastatic 95C cell line by microarray assay. In the present study, these differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analyzed via bioinformatics methods, including Gene Ontology functional analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis. A protein-protein interaction network was subsequently constructed using the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins online database and Cytoscape software, and 17 hub genes were screened out on the basis of connectivity degree. These hub genes were further validated in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) using the online Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis database. A total of seven hub genes were identified to be significantly differentially expressed in LUAD and LUSC. The prognostic information was detected using Kaplan-Meier plotter. As a result, five genes were revealed to be closely associated with the overall survival time of patients with lung cancer, including phosphoinositide-3-kinase regulatory subunit 1, FYN, thrombospondin 1, nonerythrocytic α-spectrin 1 and secreted phosphoprotein 1. In addition, lung cancer and adjacent lung tissue samples were used to validate these hub genes by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. In conclusion, the results of the present study may provide novel metastasis-associated therapeutic strategies or potential biomarkers in non-small cell lung cancer.
