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

backgroundLung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common pathological type of lung cancer. At present, most patients with LUAD are diagnosed at an advanced stage, and the prognosis of advanced LUAD is poor. Hence, we aimed to identify novel biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of early stage LUAD and to explore their predictive value.

methodsThe microarray datasets GSE63459, GSE27262, and GSE33532 were searched, and the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained using GEO2R. The DEGs were subjected to gene ontology (GO) and pathway enrichment analyses using METASCAPE. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was plotted with STRING and visualized by Cytoscape. Module analysis of the PPI network was performed using MCODE. Overall survival (OS) analysis and analysis of the mRNA expression levels of genes identified by MCODE were performed with UALCAN. Western blot analysis of hub genes in LUAD patients, MTS assays, and clonogenic assays were performed to test the effects of the hub genes on cell proliferation

resultsA total of 341 DEGs were obtained, which were mainly enriched in terms related to blood vessel development, growth factor binding, and extracellular matrix organization. A PPI network consisting of 300 nodes and 1140 edges was constructed, and a significant module including 15 genes was identified. Elevated expression of ASPM, CCNB2, CDCA5, PRC1, KIAA0101, and UBE2T was associated with poor OS in LUAD patients. In the protein level, the hub gene was overexpressed in LUAD patients.

conclusionsDEGs are potential biomarkers for early stage lung adenocarcinoma and could have utility for the diagnosis and predicting treatment efficacy.
