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

Identifying new biomarkers is necessary and important to diagnose and treat malignant lung cancer. However, existing protein marker detection methods usually require complex operation steps, leading to a lag time for diagnosis. Herein, we developed a rapid, minimally invasive, and convenient nucleic acid biomarker recognition method, which enabled the combined specific detection of 11 lung cancer typing markers in a microliter reaction system after only one sampling. The primers for the combined specific detection of 11 lung cancer typing markers were designed and screened, and the microfluidic chip for parallel detection of the multiple markers was designed and developed. Furthermore, a miniaturized microfluidic-based analyzer was also constructed. By developing a microfluidic chip and a miniaturized nucleic acid analyzer, we enabled the detection of the mRNA expression levels of multiple biomarkers in rice-sized tissue samples. The miniaturized nucleic acid analyzer could detect ≥10 copies of nucleic acids. The cell volume of the typing reaction on the microfluidic chip was only 0.94 μL, less than 1/25 of that of the conventional 25-μL Eppendorf tube PCR method, which significantly reduced the testing cost and significantly simplified the analysis of multiple biomarkers in parallel. With a simple injection operation and reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP), real-time detection of 11 lung cancer nucleic acid biomarkers was performed within 45 min. Given these compelling features, 86 clinical samples were tested using the miniaturized nucleic acid analyzer and classified according to the cutoff values of the 11 biomarkers. Furthermore, multi-biomarker analysis was conducted by a machine learning model to classify different subtypes of lung cancer, with an average area under the curve (AUC) of 0.934. This method shows great potential for the identification of new nucleic acid biomarkers and the accurate diagnosis of lung cancer.
