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 adenocarcinoma-an aggressive and life-threatening malignancy-is a type of non-small-cell lung cancer. Despite medical advancements, the prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma remains unfavorable, likely because of its heterogeneous nature. Furthermore, few subtype-specific treatments are available for lung adenocarcinoma. This study was conducted to explore the molecular subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma.

methodsWe performed a joint analysis of transcriptome and proteome data from East Asian patients with lung adenocarcinoma (nonsmokers, 86.5%).

resultsFour novel subtypes were identified based on distinct molecular characteristics: subtypes I, II, III, and IV. In patients with subtype I lung adenocarcinoma, eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4 gamma 1 activates cell proliferation; inhibiting this factor suppresses tumor growth, and reducing its level induces autophagy. Subtype II is characterized by Kristen rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog-activating oncogenesis; the onset age of this subtype is the lowest among all subtypes. Subtype III manifests as an advanced disease at diagnosis; it is characterized by a core serum response-related oncogenic signature, which indicates poor overall survival in Western patients with lung cancer. Subtype IV is more common in men than in women; it has astroglial characteristics. A Connectivity Map analysis revealed that the oncogenic expression patterns corresponding to subtypes I, II, III, and IV can be reversed by the inhibitors of Inhibitor of κB (IκB) kinase (eg, withaferin A), mammalian target of rapamycin (eg, everolimus), Src proto-oncogene (Src) (eg, saracatinib), and Transforming Growth Factor (TGF)-β/Smad (eg, LY-364947), respectively.

conclusionThis study introduced an innovative multiomics data analysis pipeline. Using this approach, we successfully identified four molecular subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma and their candidate therapeutic agents. The newly identified subtypes can be combined with the current biomarkers to generate a comprehensive roadmap for treatment decision-making.
