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

backgroundAlthough long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 691 (LINC00691) has been functionally identified in several tumors, the association between LINC00691 and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has not been reported. The objective of our study was to explore the clinical significance of LINC00691 in NSCLC.

methodsRT-PCR was performed to detect LINC00691 levels in 177 pairs of human NSCLC tissues and matched normal lung specimens. A chi-squared test was used to analyze the possible influence of LINC00691 on the clinical progress of NSCLC. Kaplan-Meier methods were used to determine differences in patient survival. The prognostic value of survival variables was evaluated using univariate and multivariate analyses.

resultsWe found that LINC00691 levels were increased in tumor specimens compared with matched normal lung tissues (P < .01). Increased LINC00691 levels correlated with lymph node metastasis (P = .025) and advanced TNM stage (P = .002) in NSCLC patients. Moreover, clinical investigations revealed that NSCLC patients with high LINC00691 expression had a shorter overall survival than those with low LINC00691 expression (P = .0042). Finally, Cox regression assays confirmed LINC00691 as an independent prognostic factor for NSCLC patients.

conclusionsThe aberrant expression of LINC00691 may function as a reliable marker for the progression and prognosis of NSCLC in patients.
