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

backgroundLung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common histological type of lung cancer. To date, the prognosis of patients with LUAD remains dismal.

methodsThree datasets were downloaded from the GEO database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained. FunRich was used to perform pathway enrichment analysis. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks were established and hub genes were obtained by Cytoscape software. GEPIA was utilized to conduct correlation and survival analysis. Upstream miRNAs of DEGs were predicted via miRNet database, and methylation status of promoters of DEGs was determined through UALCAN database.

resultsA total of 375 DEGs, including 105 and 270 up-regulated and down-regulated genes in LUAD, were commonly appeared in three datasets. These DEGs were significantly enriched in mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET) and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). About 8 up-regulated and 5 down-regulated DEGs were commonly appeared in EMT/MET-related gene set and the top 50 hub gene set. Among the 13 genes, increased expression of KRT8 and KRT19 indicated unfavorable prognosis whereas high expression of DCN and CXCL12 suggested favorable prognosis in LUAD. Correlation analysis showed that KRT8 (DCN) expression was linked to KRT19 (CXCL12) expression. Further analysis displayed that KRT8 and KRT19 could jointly forecast poor prognosis in LUAD. About 42 and 2 potential miRNAs were predicted to target KRT8 and KRT19, respectively. Moreover, methylation level analysis demonstrated that KRT8 and KRT19 were significantly hypomethylated in LUAD compared with normal controls.

conclusionsAll these findings suggest that KRT8 and KRT19 are hypomethylated and overexpressed in LUAD and associated with unfavorable prognosis.
