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

Recently, it was shown that the epigenetic age of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues is different from the chronological age of patients. Here, we demonstrate that Regucalcin and Survivin, molecules which are known to be involved in the process of aging and overcoming aging, are epigenetically modified in NSCLC tissues compared to corresponding tumor-free tissues from the same donors by using methylome bead chip and corresponding transcriptome analyses. A high expression of Survivin on the RNA level was negatively correlated with patients' survival in adenocarcinomas while a high Regucalcin expression was correlated positively. In stage 1 adenocarcinomas, this separation is even sharper for both genes. Within these, adenocarcinomas, smokers with low expression of Survivin show a better outcome, while the high expression of Regucalcin seems to be protective in never smokers. On the protein level, these molecules were detected by immunohistochemistry using tissue microarrays. Since Survivin can be secreted and we observed a high abundance of the protein also in the adjacent immune cells of the tumor microenvironment, an effect on benign cells can be assumed. These findings show that epigenetic re-programming of Survivin and Regucalcin in non-small cell lung cancer leads to enhanced expression of Survivin and reduced expression of Regucalcin, with a possible role of both molecules as predictive markers.
