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

Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) has a poor clinical prognosis and lacks effective targeted therapy. This study is aimed at investigating the role of PSMA1 (proteasome subunit alpha type-1) in LUSC. The differential expression genes (DEGs) in LUSC were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) by "edgR" algorithm and by "limma" R package. Then, the relationship between genes and overall survival (OS) was explored by the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and multivariate Cox (multi-Cox) regression. Next, the PSMA1 expression in tissues of LUSC was detected by IHC, qRT-PCR, and western blot (WB). Moreover, the effects of PSMA1 on the proliferation and viability of LUSC cell were explored by cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) assays, colony formation assays, and flow cytometry (FCM) analysis. All 4421 DEGs were screened by TCGA database, and 26 genes associated with OS were selected by multi-Cox. Based on TCGA database, PSMA1 was highly expressed in tissues of LUSC patients, and OS and FP of patients with PSMA1 overexpression were significantly lower than those of patients with low PSMA1 expression. Furthermore, PSMA1 knockdown significantly decreased the proliferation of LUSC cells and promoted the apoptosis of LUSC cells, and these effects were reversed by PSMA1 overexpression. The results of this project supported that PSMA1 might be a critical gene regulating the development of LUSC and has the potential to be explored as a prognostic biomarker of LUSC.
