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

Background: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC), the most malignant of all the lung cancer subtypes, is characterized by drug resistance. This study sought to explore the key genes and pathways associated with the chemoresistance of SCLC. Methods: The drug sensitivity of chemosensitive and chemoresistance SCLC cell lines was measured by Cell Counting Kit-8 assays. The total RNA from chemosensitive cell line H69 and chemoresistance cell line H69AR cells was extracted and subjected to messenger RNA (mRNA) and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) microarray analyses. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and the differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs) were screened out with a threshold of a |log fold change | ≥1 and an adjusted P value <0.05. A protein-protein interaction network was constructed, and hub genes were screened out. A lncRNA-mRNA co-expression network was also constructed. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes, Genomes enrichment analyses and Cis-regulatory element analyses were conducted on the DEGs and the top 10 upregulated DEL-co-expressed DEGs. The expression of the key genes was further analyzed in the GSE149507 data set and validated in H69/H69AR and H446/H446DDP cells by quantitative polymerase chain reaction assays. Results: The microarray results showed that a total of 609 mRNAs and 394 lncRNAs were differentially expressed in the chemoresistant SCLC cells. The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway was enriched among the DEGs, the top 10 upregulated DEL-co-expressed DEGs, and the Conclusions: The top 10 upregulated DELs containing
