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

Objective: To perform gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and analysis of immune cell infiltration on non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) expression profiling microarray data based on bioinformatics, construct TICS scoring model to distinguish prognosis time, screen key genes and cancer-related pathways for NSCLC treatment, explore differential genes in NSCLC patients, predict potential therapeutic targets for NSCLC, and provide new directions for the treatment of NSCLC. Methods: Transcriptome data of 81 NSCLC patients and the GEO database were used to download matching clinical data (access number: GSE120622). Form the expression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). TICS values were calculated and grouped according to TICS values, and we used mRNA expression profile data to perform GSEA in non-small-cell lung cancer patients. Biological process (GO) analysis and DAVID and KOBAS were used to undertake pathway enrichment (KEGG) analysis of differential genes. Use protein interaction (PPI) to analyze the database STRING, and construct a PPI network model of target interaction. Results: We obtained 6 significantly related immune cells including activated B cells through the above analysis (Figure 1(b), Conclusion: (1) The longevity of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer was substantially connected with the presence of immature B cells, activated B cells, MDSC, effector memory CD4 T cells, eosinophils, and regulatory T cells. (2) Immune-related genes such as CX3CR1, CXCR4, CXCR5, and CCR7, which are associated with the survival of NSCLC, affect the prognosis of NSCLC patients by regulating the immune process.
