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 squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), as the second frequent subtype of lung cancer, causes lots of mortalities primarily due to a lack of precise prognostic markers and timely treatment intervention. Previous studies have constructed several risk prognostic models based on DNA methylation sites in multiple tumors, whereas, DNA methylation signature of LUSC remains to be built, and its predictive value need to be evaluated.

methodsThe genome-wide DNA methylation data of LUSC samples was obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas dataset. Univariate Cox analysis and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) were implemented to identify DNA methylation sites related to overall survival of LUSC patients. Thus, we performed multivariate Cox regression to establish a DNA methylation signature. The Kaplan-Meier (K-M) survival curves and time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to estimate the prognostic power of the signature. Comparison with other known prognostic biomarkers, our DNA methylation signature showed higher predictive specificity and sensitivity. In addition, multivariate Cox regression screened out independent prognostic factors and constructed a nomogram.

resultsSeveral statistical methods were performed to construct an 11-DNA methylation signature. LUSC patients were divided into low- and high-risk group based on risk score, and high-risk group had a shorter survival time. According to the results of K-M and ROC analyses, the 11-DNA methylation signature showed significant sensitivity and specificity in predicting the LUSC patients' overall survival. Finally, we integrated some independent prognostic factors (risk score, metastasis stage, and tobacco smoking history) to construct a nomogram, which has excellent prognostic power and may provide guidance for the therapeutic strategies.

conclusionsWe constructed the first risk prognosis model based on DNA methylation site in LUSC, which showed better predictive ability. In addition, a nomogram integrating the DNA methylation signature, metastasis stage, and tobacco smoking history was developed.
