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

backgroundLung cancer is currently the second most common cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer accounts for about 85% of cases. NSCLC has not been studied for pseudouridine synthase 7 (PUS), a member of the PUS family that is associated with cancer development. Here, we focused on the role and clinical significance of PUS7 in non-small cell lung cancer.

aimTo explore the role of PUS7 in NSCLC and its clinical significance.

methodsWe downloaded datasets from the TCGA database and CPTAC database. In normal bronchial epithelial cells as well as NSCLC cell lines, RT-PCR and Western blot were used to quantify PUS7 expression. The role of PUS7 in NSCLC has been investigated by CCK8, migration assay, migration assay, and flow cytometry. PUS7 expression in tumor tissues was detected by immunohistochemical staining, and we evaluated the influence of PUS7 expression on the prognosis of NSCLC patients after surgery using Cox regression analysis, both univariate and multivariate.

resultsNSCLC cell lines and tissues expressed high levels of PUS7, and PUS7 was found to influence the proliferation, migration, and invasion of cancer cells without affecting their apoptosis. There was a worse prognosis for NSCLC patients who have higher PUS7 expression, suggesting that PUS7 was an independent indicator of prognosis (P = .05).
