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

We performed a bioinformatics analysis with validation by multiple databases, aiming to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic value of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) mRNA for lung cancer, and to explore possible mechanisms. Diagnostic performance of Keap1 mRNA was determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Prognostic implication of Keap1 mRNA was estimated by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Co-expressed genes with both Keap1 and Nfe2L2 were identified by LinkedOmics. Mechanisms of Keap1-Nfe2L2-co-expressed genes underlying the pathogenesis of lung cancer were explored by function enrichment and pathway analysis. The ROC curve analysis determined a good diagnostic performance of Keap1 mRNA for lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), with an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.833, sensitivity of 72.7%, and specificity of 90.6% (P<0.001). Multivariate Cox regression recognized high Keap1 mRNA to be an independent risk factor of mortality for overall lung cancer [hazard ratio (HR): 11.034, P=0.044], but an independent antagonistic factor for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) (HR: 0.404, P<0.001). Validation by UALCAN and GEPIA supported Oncomine findings regarding the diagnostic value of Keap1 mRNA for LUSC, but denied its prognostic value. After screening, we identified 17 co-expressed genes with both Keap1 and Nfe2L2 for LUAD, and 22 for LUSC, mainly enriched in signaling pathway of oxidative stress-induced gene expression via Nrf2. In conclusion, Keap1 mRNA has a good diagnostic performance, but controversial prognostic efficacy for LUSC. The pathogenesis of lung cancer is associated with Keap1-Nfe2L2-co-expressed genes by signaling pathway of oxidative stress-induced gene expression via Nrf2.
