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

backgroundThe purpose of this study was to explore the reason for guanine nucleotide binding-protein gamma subunit-4 (GNG4) overexpression and the relationship between GNG4 overexpression and the poor prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients.

methodsThe genes and phenotypes related to GNG4 expression in patients with lung adenocarcinoma were analyzed by bioinformatics. The phenotype indicated by bioinformatic analysis was confirmed by experiments.

resultsGNG4 expression is elevated in lung adenocarcinoma, and overexpressed GNG4 is related to the poor prognosis of patients with lung adenocarcinoma. The hypoxic microenvironment of lung adenocarcinoma can promote GNG4 expression and GNG4 promotes the migration and proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma cells.

conclusionsGNG4 expression in lung adenocarcinoma was significantly higher than in paired adjacent tissues. GNG4 overexpression is associated with a variety of malignant phenotypes of lung adenocarcinoma. Increased GNG4 expression is related to the hypoxic microenvironment in lung adenocarcinoma.
