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

The purpose of this study is to examine the association between G protein-coupled receptor 87 (GPR87) and lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) metastasis and immune infiltration. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets extract clinical data. According to the TCGA database, increased GPR87 expression predicts poor overall survival, progression-free interval, and disease-specific survival in LUAD patients. The meta-analysis also reveals a significant association between high GPR87 expression and poor overall survival. Moreover, functional experiments demonstrate that GPR87 silencing reduces LUAD cell invasion and migration. Immunoblotting shows that GPR87 knockdown decreased Vimentin and N-cadherin expression and increased E-cadherin expression in LUAD cells. GPR87 expression in LUAD is positively correlated with immune infiltration. In addition, GPR87 expression is associated with immune and chemotherapy resistance in LUAD patients. Our findings indicate that GPR87 promotes tumor progression and is correlated with immune infiltration, suggesting GPR87 as a possible biomarker for prognosis prediction in LUAD.
