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 cancer claims more lives than any other cancer worldwide. Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) accounts for approximately 40% of all lung cancers. Members of the Transducin-like Enhancer of split (TLE) protein family repress transcription through multiple mechanisms; however, their prognostic value in LUAD is still unclear.

methodsA dataset from The Cancer Genome Atlas was used to analyze the relationship between the expression of TLE family members and outcomes of LUAD. The expression of TLE family members in 59 normal and 513 tumor samples in the TCGA dataset was selected. For paired analysis, 57 normal and 57 tumor paired tissues were selected. Gene Ontology (GO) term and Reactome pathway enrichment analyses of the TLE family members were performed. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) served as endpoints in this study. All statistical analyses were performed with R 3.6.0.

resultsThe expression levels of TLE family proteins differed between 59 normal and 513 tumor samples. High TLE1 and low TLE2 levels were associated with poor progression-free and OS (all P<0.050). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that high TLE1 expression and low TLE2 expression were independent risk factors for a poor outcome in LUAD. Moreover, the combined expression of these two proteins was a good tool for prognostication.

conclusionsHigh TLE1 expression and low TLE2 are independent adverse prognostic factors in LUAD and can serve as prognostic biomarkers.
