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

Lung cancer is the most commonly occurring cancer attributed to the leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) comprises 85% to 90% of lung cancers. The survival rate of patients with advanced stage NSCLC is in months. Moreover, the underlying molecular mechanisms still remain to be understood.We used 2 sets of microarray data in combination with various bioinformatic approaches to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in NSCLC patients.We identified a total of 419 DEGs using the Limma package. Gene set enrichment analysis demonstrated that "Citrate cycle (TCA cycle)," "RNA degradation," and "Pyrimidine metabolism" pathways were significantly enriched in the NSCLC samples. Gene Ontology annotations of the 419 DEGs primarily comprised "glycosaminoglycan binding," "cargo receptor activity," and "organic acid binding." Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis revealed that DEGs were enriched in pathways related to "Malaria," "Cell cycle," and "IL-17 signaling pathway." Protein protein interaction network analysis showed that the hub genes constituted of CDK1, CDC20, BUB1, BUB1B, TOP2A, CCNA2, KIF20A, CCNB1, KIF2C, and NUSAP1.Taken together, the identified hub genes and pathways will help understand NSCLC tumorigenesis and develop prognostic markers and therapeutic targets against NSCLC.
