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: The incidence of lung adenocarcinoma is in the forefront of malignant tumors in the world. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of cancer-associated fibroblast-related genes (CAFRGs) in the occurrence, diagnosis and development of lung adenocarcinoma. Methods: RNA data and corresponding clinical information of lung adenocarcinoma patients were acquired from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Consensus clustering was performed to identify different molecular subgroups. The tumor immune states of different subgroups were determined by Estimation of STromal and Immune cells in MAlignant Tumor tissues using Expression data (ESTIMATE; https://bioinformatics.mdanderson.org/estimate/index.html), microenvironment cell populations (MCP)-counter (which can reliably quantify the abundance of eight immune cell populations and two stromal cell populations), and single sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) analyses. In order to elucidate the potential mechanism of CAFRGs, functional enrichment analysis including gene ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome (KEGG), and GSEA analysis were performed on the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm and multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to construct the prognostic risk model, which was verified by lung adenocarcinoma data from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset GSE37745. Results: This study identified two molecular subgroups with significant differences in survival. High immunoscore and immune cell infiltration were more common in the subgroup with better prognosis. GO and KEGG analysis showed that DEGs between the two different subgroups were mainly concentrated in the mitotic cell cycle, cell proliferation, vascular development, and humoral immune response, adaptive immune-related pathways. GSEA analysis indicated that RNA degradation and P53 signaling pathway might be related to the increased invasiveness of lung adenocarcinoma. Risk models based on CAFRGs have demonstrated potent potential for predicting lung adenocarcinoma survival and have been validated in validation cohorts. The nomogram combined with risk model and clinical characteristics can predict the prognosis of patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Conclusions: The expression of CAFRGs is related to tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) of lung adenocarcinoma patients, and can predict the prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma patients.
