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

Chromobox (CBX) family members are vital epigenetic regulators that repress the transcription of target genes through chromatin modification. Several studies have investigated the role of CBX family members in cancer. However, the function and prognostic value of diverse CBX family members in non-small-cell lung cancer remain largely unknown. In this study, we reveal that CBX family members are overexpressed in non-small-cell lung cancer tissue compared with normal lung tissue, with the exception of CBX6. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that high expressions of CBX1 and CBX3 are correlated with overall survival, disease-specific survival, disease-free interval, and progression-free interval for patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Furthermore, regression model analysis suggests that CBX3 may be suitable as an independent prediction factor for overall survival and progression-free interval in patients with LUAD. In addition, CBX3 mRNA expression was found to be associated with tumor diameter and lymph node metastasis. Gene enrichment analysis suggests that CBX3 is involved in the cell cycle and P53 signaling pathways. Aberrant expression of CBX3 in LUAD is correlated with DNA copy number alteration. In summary, our data imply that CBX3 plays an important role in the promotion of LUAD and may thus have potential as a prognostic biomarker and molecular therapeutic target for the disease.
