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 adenocarcinoma (LUAD) stands as the foremost histological subtype of non-small-cell lung cancer, accounting for approximately 40% of all lung cancer diagnoses. However, there remains a critical unmet need to enhance the prediction of clinical outcomes and therapy responses in LUAD patients. Keratins (KRTs), serving as the structural components of the intermediate filament cytoskeleton in epithelial cells, play a crucial role in the advancement of tumor progression. This study investigated the prognostic significance of the KRT family gene and developed a KRT gene signature (KGS) for prognostic assessment and treatment guidance in LUAD. Methods: Transcriptome profiles and associated clinical details of LUAD patients were meticulously gathered from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. The KGS score was developed based on the expression of five prognostic KRT genes ( Results: High expression of the KGS signature exhibited a robust association with poorer overall survival (OS) in the TCGA-LUAD dataset (HR: 1.81; 95% CI: 1.35-2.42, Conclusion: This study developed a KGS score that independently predicts the prognosis in LUAD. High expression of KGS score, accompanied by upregulation of TGF-β and WNT-β catenin signaling pathways, confers more aggressive EMT and tumor progression.
