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

backgroundPatients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) are burdened by limited treatment options and the disease's dismal prognosis. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are essential regulators of genetic alteration and are actively involved in tumor immunity. However, few studies have examined interactions between immune genes and lncRNAs in SCLC.

methodsImmune-related lncRNA (irlncRNA) expression profiles and their clinical significance were explored. We enrolled 227 patients with SCLC, including 79 cases from GSE65002 and 148 cases from a validation cohort with corresponding qPCR data. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) model was applied to identify prognostic irlncRNAs for an irlncRNA-based SCLC signature. We additionally investigated the potential mechanisms and immune landscape of the signature using bioinformatics methods.

resultsAn irlncRNA signature including 8 irlncRNAs (ENOX1-AS1, AC005162, LINC00092, RPL34-AS1, AC104135, AC015971, AC126544, AP001189) was established for patients with SCLC in the training cohort. Low-risk patients were more likely to benefit from chemotherapy and achieve a favorable prognosis. The signature was also well-validated in the validation cohort and various clinical subgroups. Compared to other clinical parameters, the irlncRNA signature exhibited superior predictive performance for chemotherapy response and prognosis. The signature was as an independent prognostic factor in the training and validation cohorts. Interestingly, low-risk patients showed an activated immune phenotype.

conclusionWe constructed the first irlncRNA-based signature for chemotherapy efficacy and outcome prediction. The irlncRNA signature is a reliable and robust prognostic classifier that could be useful for clinical management and determination of potential chemotherapy benefit for patients with SCLC.
