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

objectiveTo construct a diagnostic signature to distinguish lung adenocarcinoma from lung squamous cell carcinoma and a prognostic signature to predict the risk of death for patients with nonsmall-cell lung cancer, with satisfactory predictive performances, good stabilities, small sizes and meaningful biological implications.

methodsPathway-based feature selection methods utilize pathway information as a priori to provide insightful clues on potential biomarkers from the biological perspective, and such incorporation may be realized by adding weights to test statistics or gene expression values. In this study, weighted gene expression profiles were generated using the GeneRank method and then the LASSO method was used to identify discriminative and prognostic genes.

resultsThe five-gene diagnostic signature including keratin 5 (

conclusionsBesides good predictive capacity, model parsimony and stability, the identified diagnostic and prognostic genes were highly relevant to lung cancer. A large-sized prospective study to explore the utilization of these genes in a clinical setting is warranted.
