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: Lung cancer is the most morbid and fatal cancer in the world, and nearly 85% of lung cancer is non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Besides traditional chemotherapies, molecular targeted therapies and immunotherapies are increasing rapidly, but the treatment is still unsatisfactory. The study is to identify a new diagnostic and prognostic biomarker. Methods: Data including mRNA expression and clinical information of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed to assess the diagnostic value of syntrophin-γ2 (SNTG2) expression and Kaplan-Meier (KM) survival curves were used to compare the survival disparities. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was analysed by Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins (STRING) and the connections between SNTG2 and immune cell infiltration were found with Tumor Immunoassay Resource (TIMER). Genetic mutation in SNTG2 and its association with overall survival (OS) were evaluated by cBioPortal. The relationship between SNTG2 and methylation and its association with overall survival were evaluated by MethSurv. Chi square and Mann-Whitney tests were used for statistical analyses. Xiantao Academic Online Website was used for online analysis. Results: Our results revealed that SNTG2 mRNA expression was lower in LUAD tissues than in both adjacent and non-adjacent normal tissues and low SNTG2 mRNA expression was verified to be correlated with histological grade, clinical stage, first therapy outcome and poor overall survival of LUAD. Next, ROC curve revealed diagnostic and prognostic value of SNTG2 for LUAD patients. Moreover, SNTG2 presented correlation with immune cell infiltration and immune checkpoints. Then, we revealed CC chemokine ligand 14 (CCL14), a co-expression gene with SNTG2, which has consistent influence with SNTG2. Furthermore, hypomethylation was found to be associated with high SNTG2 expression. Conclusion: We revealed a potential diagnostic and prognostic indicator in LUAD and analyzed its influence on immunotherapy.
