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

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a deadly cancer with no clinically relevant biomarkers for early detection. Here, we comprehensively characterized the transcriptional landscape of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in paired tumor and normal tissue specimens from 93 ESCC patients, and identified six key malignancy-specific lncRNAs that were integrated into a Multi-LncRNA Malignancy Risk Probability model (MLMRPscore). The MLMRPscore performed robustly in distinguishing ESCC from normal controls in multiple in-house and external multicenter validation cohorts, including early-stage I/II cancer. In addition, five candidate lncRNAs were confirmed to have non-invasive diagnostic potential in our institute plasma cohort, showing superior or comparable diagnostic accuracy to current clinical serological markers. Overall, this study highlights the profound and robust dysregulation of lncRNAs in ESCC and demonstrates the potential of lncRNAs as non-invasive biomarkers for the early detection of ESCC.
