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

objectiveNon-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for >85% of lung cancers, and its incidence is increasing. We explored expression differences between NSCLC and normal cells and predicted potential target sites for detection and diagnosis of NSCLC.

methodsThree microarray datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus database were analyzed using GEO2R. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis were conducted. Then, the String database, Cytoscape, and MCODE plug-in were used to construct a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and screen hub genes. Overall and disease-free survival of hub genes were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves, and the relationship between expression patterns of target genes and tumor grades were analyzed and validated. Gene set enrichment analysis and receiver operating characteristic curves were used to verify enrichment pathways and diagnostic performance of hub genes.

resultsIn total, 293 differentially expressed genes were identified and mainly enriched in cell cycle, ECM-receptor interaction, and malaria. In the PPI network, 36 hub genes were identified, of which 6 were found to play significant roles in carcinogenesis of NSCLC:

conclusionThe identified target genes can be used as biomarkers for the detection and diagnosis of NSCLC.
