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: Lung cancer has the highest prevalence and mortality of all cancers, and lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) occupies the largest proportion of lung cancers. Herein, this study is aimed at constructing a ferroptosis-related prognostic signature for LUAD and conducting functional analysis based on the signature, highlighting the importance of ferroptosis in LUAD. Methods: We employed RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) and clinical data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Univariate Cox regression, Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression analysis were conducted to build the ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) prognostic signature. The efficacy of this FRG signature was further analyzed with Kaplan-Meier (KM) plot, multivariate Cox regression, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Enrichment analysis was used to evaluate key pathways. The expression of immunomodulators, immune infiltration status, and drug sensitivity correlation were explored to predict the response to various therapies. The expression of FRGs was validated in LUAD samples with western blot (WB) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining. Cell viability assay and lipid peroxidation detection were measured after small interfering RNA (siRNA) knockdown of two FRGs in lung cancer cell lines. Results: A seven-gene signature was constructed and used to divide LUAD patients into high- and low-risk groups. High-risk patients were notably related to shorter overall survival (OS), and multivariate Cox regression demonstrated that our signature was an independent predictor of OS. ROC curve analysis presented a maximum area under the curve (AUC) value of 0.740 for the experimental cohort and 0.705 for the validation cohort. The low-risk group showed higher levels of plasma cell infiltration and higher expression of programmed cell death protein 1 ( Conclusions: Our novel ferroptosis-related signature shows potential clinical and functional importance in LUAD patients, and further research on ferroptosis as a therapeutic target in LUAD is warranted.
