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

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. The development of high-throughput single-cell RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) technology and the advent of multi-omics have provided a solid basis for a systematic understanding of the heterogeneity in cancers. Although numerous studies have revealed the molecular features of NSCLC, it is important to identify and validate the molecular biomarkers related to specific NSCLC phenotypes at single-cell resolution. In this study, we analyzed and validated single-cell RNA-seq data by integrating multi-level omics data to identify key metabolic features and prognostic biomarkers in NSCLC. High-throughput single-cell RNA-seq data, including 4887 cellular gene expression profiles from NSCLC tissues, were analyzed. After pre-processing, the cells were clustered into 12 clusters using the t-SNE clustering algorithm, and the cell types were defined according to the marker genes. Malignant epithelial cells exhibit individual differences in molecular features and intra-tissue metabolic heterogeneity. We found that oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and glycolytic pathway activity are major contributors to intra-tissue metabolic heterogeneity of malignant epithelial cells and T cells. Furthermore, we constructed T-cell differentiation trajectories and identified several key genes that regulate the cellular phenotype. By screening for genes associated with T-cell differentiation using the Lasso algorithm and Cox risk regression, we identified four prognostic marker genes for NSCLC. In summary, our study revealed metabolic features and prognostic markers of NSCLC at single-cell resolution, which provides novel findings on molecular biomarkers and signatures of cancers.
