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

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are functional components of the human genome. Recent studies have demonstrated that lncRNAs play essential roles in tumorigenesis, and are involved in cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion in several types of tumor, including lung cancer. However, the clinical relevance of lncRNA expression in lung cancer remains unknown. The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression pattern of RFPL3 antisense (RFPL3S) and its associations with clinicopathological characteristics in patients with lung cancer. Whether RFPL3S can act as a potential prognostic biomarker for lung cancer was also investigated. RFPL3S expression in tumor samples and cells was assessed using the Oncomine database and the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia, respectively. Based on Kaplan-Meier Plotter analyses, the prognostic values of RFPL3S were further evaluated. It was revealed that RFPL3S was highly expressed in lung cancer tissues when compared with normal tissues and was significantly associated with pN factor, pTNM stage and Ki-67 labeling index. In the survival analyses, increased RFPL3S expression was associated with poor survival and was inversely associated with first progression in all patients. These results indicate that RFPL3S may be of clinical significance and may act as a prognostic biomarker in lung cancer.
