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

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the major cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Though multidisciplinary therapies have been widely used for NSCLC, its overall prognosis remains very poor, presumably owing to lack of effective prognostic biomarkers. SMAD, a well-known transcription factor, plays an essential role in carcinogenesis. Aberrant expression of SMAD have been found in various cancers, and may be regarded as prognostic indicator for some malignancies. However, the expression and prognostic role of SMAD family member, especially at the mRNA level, remain elusive in NSCLC. In the present study, we report the distinct expression and prognostic value of individual SMAD in patients with NSCLC by analyzing several online databases including ONCOMINE, Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis, Human Protein Atlas database, Kaplan-Meier plotter, cBioPortal, and Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery. The mRNA levels of SMAD6/7/9 in NSCLC were significantly down-regulated in NSCLC, and aberrant SMAD2/3/4/5/6/7/9 mRNA levels were all correlated with the prognosis of NSCLC. Collectively, SMAD2/3/4/5/6/7/9 may server as prognostic biomarkers and potential targets for NSCLC, and thus facilitate the customized treatment strategies for NSCLC patients.
