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

The signaling of interleukin (IL)-23 and its receptor (IL-23R) play a crucial role in the development of cancers. However, the clinical significance of human serum soluble IL-23R (sIL-23R) and its relationship with IL-23 are still not explored in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In our study, sIL-23R was first identified in the serum of NSCLC patients, but not in healthy controls, by proteomics. The IL-23R mRNA and protein were upregulated in NSCLC cell lines and tissues tested by quantitative PCR, western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry. The levels of sIL-23R, IL-23, and IL-17 in 195 NSCLC patients' serum were determined by ELISA, and high levels of sIL-23R were significantly associated with advanced N stage (P = .039), clinical stage (P = .007), and poor 5-year survival rate. In vitro, sIL-23R was shown binding to IL-23 and the balance could affect patients' N and T stage, overall survival, and downstream cytokine IL-17 in a potential antagonistic relationship. Although sIL-23R, IL-23, and IL-17 were all associated with poor prognosis, only the sIL-23R/IL-23 ratio (hazard ratio, 1.945; 95% confidence interval, 1.147-3.299; P = .014) was found to be an independent factor for prognosis. Therefore, we identified fragments of soluble cytokine receptor of IL-23R with affinity ability to its natural ligand IL-23 in NSCLC patients' serum. The balance between the 2 antagonists can work as a potential prognostic serum marker.
