A 15-Gene-Based Risk Signature for Predicting Overall Survival in SCLC Patients Who Have Undergone Surgical Resection.

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.
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
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a malignancy with a poor prognosis whose treatment has not progressed for decades. The survival benefit of surgery and the selection of surgical candidates are still controversial in SCLC. This study is the first report to identify transcriptomic alterations associated with prognosis and propose a gene expression-based risk signature that can be used to predict overall survival (OS) in SCLC patients who have undergone potentially curative surgery. An integrative transcriptome analysis of three gene expression datasets (GSE30219, GSE43346, and GSE149507) revealed 1734 up-regulated and 2907 down-regulated genes. Cox-Mantel test, Cox regression, and Lasso regression analyses were used to identify genes to be included in the risk signature. EGAD00001001244 and GSE60052-cohorts were used for internal and external validation, respectively. Overall survival was significantly poorer in patients with high-risk scores compared to the low-risk group. The discriminatory performance of the risk signature was superior to other parameters. Multivariate analysis showed that the risk signature has the potential to be an independent predictor of prognosis. The prognostic genes were enriched in pathways including regulation of transcription, cell cycle, cell metabolism, and angiogenesis. Determining the roles of the identified prognostic genes in the pathogenesis of SCLC may contribute to the development of new treatment strategies. The risk signature needs to be validated in a larger cohort of patients to test its usefulness in clinical decision-making.
