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

FAT4 is an extremely large atypical cadherin with crucial roles in the control of planar cell polarity (PCP) and regulation of the Hippo signaling pathway. Our study aims to clarify the FAT4 expression patterns, as well as the significance of FAT4 in predicting the prognosis and cancer immunity to non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). FAT4 mRNA and protein expressions were both underregulated in NSCLC and associated with poor prognosis in both lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC). In addition, overexpress FAT4 with jujuboside A (JUA) or knockdown FAT4 with siRNA regulated the metastasis of LUAD through MAPK pathways. Moreover, the FAT4 expression included multiple immunological components to promote an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Furthermore, a study of the TCGA-LUAD cohort's DNA methylation results showed that most FAT4 DNA CpG sites were typically hypermethylated in NSCLC relative to the normal lung tissue. The DNA CpG sites cg25879360 and cg26389756 of FAT4 were found to be strongly associated with FAT4 expression in LUAD through the correlation study. In conclusion, this is the first to report the potential function of FAT4 in NSCLC. Hence, FAT4 could be used as a promising prognostic and immunological biomarker for NSCLC.
