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 squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), one of the main types of lung cancer, has caused a huge social burden. There has been no significant progress in its therapy in recent years, Resulting in a poor prognosis. This study aims to develop a glycolysis-related gene signature to predict patients' survival with LUSC and explore new therapeutic targets.

methodsWe obtained the mRNA expression and clinical information of 550 patients with LUSC from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Glycolysis genes were identified by Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA). The glycolysis-related gene signature was established using the Cox regression analysis.

resultsWe developed five glycolysis-related genes signature (HKDC1, AGL, ALDH7A1, SLC16A3, and MIOX) to calculate each patient's risk score. According to the risk score, patients were divided into high- and low-risk groups and exhibited significant differences in overall survival (OS) between the two groups. The ROC curves showed that the AUC was 0.707 for the training cohort and 0.651 for the validation cohort. Additionally, the risk score was confirmed as an independent risk factor for LUSC patients by Cox regression analysis.

conclusionWe built a gene signature to clarify the connection between glycolysis and LUSC. This model performs well in evaluating patients' survival with LUSC and provides new biomarkers for targeted therapy.
