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

The prognosis of patients with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is poor. Although novel lung cancer treatments have been developed for metastatic LUAD, not all patients are fit to receive these treatments. The present study aimed to identify the novel regulatory genes in metastatic LUAD. Because the pleural cavity is a frequent metastasis site of LUAD, the adjacent non-tumor tissue, primary tumor tissue, and metastatic lung tumor tissue in the pleura of a single patient with LUAD were collected. The gene expression profiles of the collected samples were further analyzed via RNA sequencing and bioinformatic analysis. A high expression level of ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 H (UBE2H), a hypoxia-mediated gene, was identified in the metastatic malignant pleural tumor. After accessing the survival data in patients with lung adenocarcinoma through online databases, a high UBE2H expression was associated with poor survival for LUAD. UBE2H knockdown in two lung adenocarcinoma cell lines suppressed the cell migration capacity and reversed the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) signaling pathway. A high expression of UBE2H-targeting microRNAs, including miR-101, miR-30a, miR-30b, miR-328, and miR-497, were associated with a favorable prognosis. Moreover, the UBE2H expression revealed a significant correlation with the copy number variation. Taken together, the presence of UBE2H regulated the EMT program and metastasis in LUAD.
