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

backgroundEndoplasmic reticulum stress exists within a tumor. Glucose-regulated protein 94 (GRP94) is a stress-induced chaperone protein involved in tumor development and progression. Its role in myeloma, colon cancer, and other tumors has been confirmed, but its role in lung cancer is unclear. This study aimed to determine the role of GRP94 in lung cancer progression and prognostic prediction.

methodsImmunohistochemical staining of GRP94 in human lung adenocarcinoma (AD) and corresponding normal tissue was performed, and its relationship with FOXP3

resultsGRP94 mRNA (encoded by HSP90B1) and protein levels were upregulated and elevated, respectively, in lung AD compared to normal lung tissues. High GRP94 expression was associated with an advanced disease stage and poor survival. There was a positive correlation between GRP94 expression and FOXP3

conclusionsOur study revealed that that GRP94 expression in lung AD favors tumor progression and predicts poor prognosis. The oncogenic role of GRP94 may involve inducing Treg infiltration by promoting the TGF-β signaling pathway. KEY POINTS: GRP94 protein levels were elevated in lung AD tissues compared to normal lung tissues. The high expression of GRP94 in lung AD favors tumor progression and predicts poor prognosis. The oncogenic role of the molecule GRP94 may involve the stimulation of Treg infiltration via promotion of the TGF-β signaling pathway.
