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

purposeIntra-tumor heterogeneity and high mortality among patients with non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) emphasize the need to identify reliable prognostic markers unique to each subtype.

methodsIn this study, univariate cox regression and prognostic index (PI)-based approaches were used to develop models for predicting NSCLC patients' subtype-specific survival.

resultsPrognostic analysis of TCGA dataset identified 1334 and 2129 survival-specific genes for LUSC (488 samples) and LUAD (497 samples), respectively. Individually, 32 and 271 prognostic genes were found and validated in GSE study exclusively for LUSC and LUAD. Nearly, 9-10% of the validated genes in each subtype were already reported in multiple studies thus highlighting their importance as prognostic biomarkers. Strong literature evidence against these prognostic genes like "ELANE" (LUSC) and "AHSG" (LUAD) instigates further investigation for their therapeutic and diagnostic roles in the corresponding cohorts. Prognostic models built on five and four genes were validated for LUSC [HR = 2.10, p value = 1.86 × 10

conclusionThis study advocates that investigating the survival-specific biomarkers restricted to respective cohorts can advance subtype-specific prognosis, diagnosis, and treatment for NSCLC patients. Prognostic models and markers described for each subtype may provide insight into the heterogeneity of disease etiology and help in the development of new therapeutic approaches for the treatment of NSCLC patients.
