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) play an important role in gene regulation. Several lncRNAs have been demonstrated to be associated with the diagnosis and prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The present study aimed to investigate the role of lncRNA long intragenic non-protein-coding RNA p53-induced transcript (LINC-PINT) in NSCLC to identify a novel non-invasive biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with NSCLC. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR analysis was performed to detect LINC-PINT expression in the tissue and serum samples of patients with NSCLC. The diagnostic and prognostic values of LINC-PINT were assessed via the receiver operating characteristic curve, and Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses, respectively. The results demonstrated that LINC-PINT expression was significantly downregulated in NSCLC serum samples and tissues. In addition, serum LINC-PINT exhibited diagnostic value in patients with NSCLC, and may be used to predict prognosis. Furthermore, aberrant LINC-PINT expression in tumor tissues was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis, tumor size, differentiation and TNM stage. Taken together, the results of the present study suggest that lncRNA LINC-PINT may be an independent diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in NSCLC.
