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

backgroundCurrent strategies are insufficient to predict pathologically complete response (pCR) for esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCCs) before treatment. Here, we aim to develop a novel long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) signature for pCR and outcome prediction of ESCCs through a multicenter analysis for a Chinese population.

methodsDifferentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs) between pCRs and less than pCR (<pCR) in the pretreated cancer biopsies were identified from 28 cases in Guangzhou cohort and verified from 30 cases in Beijing discovery cohort. Then a prediction model was built through Fisher's linear discriminant analysis (FLDA) of 67 cases in Beijing training cohort. Then an internal cohort and an integrated external cohort (Zhengzhou and Anyang cohorts) were used to validate the predictive accuracy. The prognostic value of this signature was also evaluated.

resultsTwelve DELs were identified from Guangzhou cohort and six lncRNAs were verified. Then, a classifier of three lncRNAs (SCAT1, PRKAG2-AS1, and FLG-AS1) was established and achieved a high accuracy with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.952 in the training cohort, which was well validated in the internal validation cohort and external cohort with the AUCs of 0.856 and 0.817, respectively. Furthermore, the predictive score was identified as the only independent predictor for pCR. Patients with high discriminant score showed a significantly longer overall and relapse-free survival (P < .05).

conclusionsWe developed the first and applicable three-lncRNA signature of pCR and outcome prediction, which is robust and reproducible in multicenter cohorts for ESCCs with nCRT.
