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

backgroundQuiescin Q6 sulfhydryl oxidase 2 (QSOX2), an enzyme that can be directly secreted into the extracellular space, is known to be associated with oxidative protein folding. However, whether

methodsReal-time quantitative PCR (qPCR), immunohistochemistry (IHC), bioinformatics analyses were applied to analyze the expression pattern and prognostic significance of QSOX2 in NSCLC. Xenografts model, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), western blot analysis (WB), and IHC were preformed to examine

resultsQuiescin sulfhydryl oxidase 2 was significantly overexpressed in NSCLC and associated with poor survival in advanced-stage patients. The intracellular and extracellular expression of QSOX2 by tumor cells markedly decreased after anti-cancer therapy

conclusionsOur findings demonstrate that QSOX2 is directly regulated by E2F1 in the cell cycle, which is essential for the proliferation of NSCLC cells. Furthermore, QSOX2 is a prognostic indicator for NSCLC and may be developed into a biomarker for monitoring tumor burden and therapeutic progress.
