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 squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) generally correlates with poor clinical prognoses due to the lack of available prognostic biomarkers. This study is designed to identify a potential biomarker significant for the prognosis and treatment of LUSC, so as to provide a scientific basis for clinical treatment decisions.

methodsGenomic changes in LUSC samples before and after radiation were firstly discussed to identify E2 factor (E2F) pathway of prognostic significance. A series of bioinformatics analyses and statistical methods were combined to construct a robust E2F-related prognostic gene signature. Furthermore, a decision tree and a nomogram were established according to the gene signature and multiple clinicopathological characteristics to improve risk stratification and quantify risk assessment for individual patients.

resultsIn our investigated cohorts, the E2F-related gene signature we identified was capable of predicting clinical outcomes and therapeutic responses in LUSC patients, besides, discriminative to identify high-risk patients. Survival analysis suggested that the gene signature was independently prognostic for adverse overall survival of LUSC patients. The decision tree identified the strong discriminative performance of the gene signature in risk stractification for overall survival while the nomogram demonstrated a high accuracy.

conclusionThe E2F-related gene signature may help distinguish high-risk patients so as to formulate personalized treatment strategy in LUSC patients.
