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

BACKGROUND Immune-checkpoint inhibitors have propelled the field of therapeutics for small cell lung cancer (SCLC) treatment, but are only beneficial to some patients. The objective of this study was to identify valid biomarkers for good potential response to immunotherapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed an integrated analysis of the available datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) projects, Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE), TISIDB database, and Lung Cancer Explorer (LCE) database. Six prognosis-related genes (MCM2, EZH2, CENPK, CHEK1, CDKN2A, and EXOSC2) were identified utilizing the meta workflow of data analysis methods. We performed subclass mapping to compare their expression profiles to other datasets of patients who responded to immunotherapy. A drug sensitivity predictive model was used to predict the chemotherapeutic response to cisplatin and etoposide. RESULTS Our results showed that the expression of the 6 key genes was significantly associated with the overall survival of patients with SCLC. Lower expression of these 6 genes was correlated to the response to anti-PD-1 treatment. Additionally, low expression of MCM2, EZH2, CENPK, and CHEK1 was correlated with increased sensitivity to cisplatin, but not etoposide. CONCLUSIONS Overall, our data showed that MCM2, EZH2, CENPK, CHEK1, CDKN2A, and EXOSC2 are potential prognostic and predictive biomarkers for response to immune-checkpoint inhibitor treatment in patients with SCLC. Further studies with large sample sizes are required to validate our findings and to explore the detailed mechanisms underlying the role of these genes in SCLC.
