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

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a heterogeneous disease, and its demarcation contributes to various therapeutic outcomes. However, a small subset of tumors shows different molecular features that are in contradiction with pathological classification. Unsupervised clustering was performed to subtype NSCLC using the transcriptome data from the TCGA database. Next, immune microenvironment features of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), lung squamous carcinoma (LUSC), and lung adenoid squamous carcinoma (LASC) were characterized. In addition, diagnostic biomarkers to demarcate LASC among LUSC were screened using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and validated by the in-house cohort. LASC was identified as a novel subtype with adenoid transcriptomic features in LUSC, which exhibited the most immuno-escaped phenotype among all NSCLC subtypes. In addition, FOLR1 was identified as a biomarker for LASC discrimination using the WGCNA analysis, and its diagnostic value was validated by the in-house cohort. Moreover, FOLR1 was related to immuno-escaped tumors in LUSC but not in LUAD. Overall, we proposed a novel typing strategy in NSCLC and identified FOLR1 as a biomarker for LASC discrimination.
