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

backgroundRho GTPase-activating protein 11A (ARHGAP11A) is a member of the Rho GTPase-activating protein (RhoGAP) subfamily. However, its expression, prognostic significance and clinicopathologic factors correlation in lung adenocarcinoma is still unclear.

methodsThe original gene expression profile, survival data, and clinical information of patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. The expression difference of ARHGAP11A between LUAD tissues and adjacent normal tissues in the TCGA database was analyzed by using R software, and verified by the Oncomine database and immunohistochemical (IHC) assay of LUAD sections. Logistic regression was applied to analyze the relationship between the expression of ARHGAP11A and clinicopathological factors of LUAD. Kaplan-Meier (KM) survival curves and a Cox proportional-hazards model were selected to evaluate the prognostic significance of ARHGAP11A expression. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) software was applied to screen the tumor signaling pathways associated with the low and high expression group of ARHGAP11A in LUAD.

resultsThe TCGA database showed that the expression of ARHGAP11A was significantly higher in LUAD tissues than in normal tissues (P<0.001). The up-regulation of ARHGAP11A in LUAD was verified by the Oncomine database (P<0.001) and IHC assay (P<0.001). Logistic regression analysis revealed the high expression of ARHGAP11A to be closely related to age, sex, advanced pathological stage, advanced T stage, and lymph node metastasis. The KM plots based on the TCGA and KM plotter databases indicated that patients with LUAD highly expressing ARHGAP11A had a poorer overall survival (OS) than patients with low expression of ARHGAP11A. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the high expression of ARHGAP11A could be an important independent predictor of a poor prognosis of LUAD [hazards ratio (HR) =1.385; P<0.001]. GSEA indicated that 10 signal pathways were significantly enriched in LUAD samples with the ARHGAP11A expression phenotype.

conclusionsARHGAP11A may play a carcinogenic role in the malignant progression of LUAD, and it can be considered as a new independent prognostic factor and potential therapeutic target for LUAD.
