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

backgroundMolecular mechanism of lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) remains poorly understood, hampering effective targeted therapies or precision diagnosis about LUSC. We devised an integrative framework to investigate on the molecular patterns of LUSC by systematically mining the genomic, transcriptional and clinical information.

methodsWe utilized the genomics and transcriptomics data for the LUSC cohorts in The Cancer Genome Atlas.. Both kinds of omics data for 33 types of cancers were downloaded from The NCI's Genomic Data Commons (GDC) (https://gdc.cancer.gov/about-data/publications/pancanatlas). The genomics data were processed in mutation annotation format (maf), and the transcriptomics data were determined by RNA-seq method. Mutation significance was estimated by MutSigCV. Prognosis analysis was based on the cox proportional hazards regression (Coxph) model.

resultsSignificant somatic mutated genes (SMGs) like NFE2L2, RASA1 and COL11A1 and their potential down-stream pathways were recognized. Furthermore, two LUSC-specific and prognosis-meaningful subtypes were identified. Interestingly, the good prognosis subtype was enriched with mutations in CUL3/KEAP1/NRF2 pathway and with markedly suppressed expressions of multiple down-stream pathways like epithelial mesenchymal transition. The subtypes were verified by the other two cohorts. Additionally, primarily regulated down-stream elements of different SMGs were also estimated. NFE2L2, KEAP1 and RASA1 mutations showed remarkable effects on the subtype-determinant gene expressions, especially for the inflammatory relevant genes.

conclusionsThis study supplies valuable references on potential down-stream processes of SMGs and an alternative way to classify LUSC.
