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

In recent years autophagy has attracted the attention of researchers from many medical fields, including cancer research, and certain anti-macroautophagy drugs in combination with cytotoxic or targeted therapies have entered clinical trials. In the present study, we focused on a less explored subtype of autophagy, i.e., chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA), with the key proteins LAMP2A and HSPA8 (HSC70), and their immunohistochemical evaluation with previously extensively validated antibodies. We were interested in whether the marker expression is influenced by the antecedent therapy, and its correlation with survival on a cohort of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after neoadjuvant therapy and matched primary resected tumors. In concordance with our previous study, we did not find any intratumoral heterogeneity, nor correlation between the two parameters, nor correlation between the markers and any included pathological parameters. Surprisingly, the expression of both markers was also independent to tumor response or administered neoadjuvant treatment. In the survival analysis, the results were only significant for LAMP2A, where higher levels were associated with longer 5-year overall survival and disease-free survival for the mixed group of adenocarcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas (
