Associations of IFT20 and GM130 protein expressions with clinicopathological features and survival of patients with lung adenocarcinoma.
Article in BMC cancer, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
backgroundLung cancer is the leading cause of malignancy-related mortality and lung adenocarcinoma accounts for about 40% of lung malignancies. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations of intraflagellar transport protein 20 (IFT20) and Golgi matrix protein 130 (GM130) expression with clinicopathological features and survival in patients with lung adenocarcinoma.
methodsThe expressions of IFT20 and GM130 protein in cancerous and matched adjacent lung tissues of 235 patients with lung adenocarcinoma were assessed by tissue microarray and immunohistochemistry, which were indicated by the mean optical density (IOD/area), the rate of positive staining cells and staining intensity score. The correlation between IFT20 and GM130 protein was assessed by Spearman's rank correlation. Associations of IFT20 and GM130 protein expression with clinicopathological features of patients were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression models. The survival analysis of patients was performed by Cox proportional hazard regression models.
resultsWith adjustment for multiple potential confounders, each one-point increase in IFT20 protein staining intensity score was significantly associated with 32% and 29% reduced risk for TNM stage in II ~ IV and lymphatic metastasis of patients, respectively (P < 0.05). And each one-point increase in GM130 protein staining intensity score was associated with a significant reduction in the risk of poor differentiation and tumors size > 7 cm by 29% and 38% for lung adenocarcinoma patients, respectively (P < 0.05). In stratified Cox model analysis, enhanced IFT20 staining intensity score was significantly decreased the risk of death by 16% for patients without distant metastasis. And elevated the IOD/area of GM130 expression significantly decreased the death risk of lung adenocarcinoma patients with tumor size > 7 cm or distant metastasis by 54% and 65%, respectively (P < 0.05).
conclusionIFT20 and GM130 protein expressions were negatively associated with tumor differentiated types, size, TNM stage and lymphatic metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma. Both IFT20 and GM130 proteins have some protective effects on the survival of lung adenocarcinoma patients with specific clinicopathological features.
