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 (LUAD) is the most common histological type of lung cancer with lower survival rates. Recent advancements in targeted therapies and immunotherapies targeting immune checkpoints have achieved remarkable success, there is still a large percentage of LUAD that lacks available therapeutic options. Due to tumor heterogeneity, the diagnosis and treatment of LUAD are challenging. Exploring the biology of LUAD and identifying new biomarker and therapeutic targets options are essential.

methodWe performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of 6 paired primary and adjacent LUAD tissues, and integrative omics analysis of the scRNA-seq, bulk RNA-seq and whole-exome sequencing data revealed molecular subtype characteristics. Our experimental results confirm that CDC25C gene can serve as a potential marker for poor prognosis in LUAD.

resultsWe investigated aberrant gene expression in diverse cell types in LUAD via the scRNA-seq data. Moreover, multi-omics clustering revealed four subgroups defined by transcriptional profile and molecular subtype 4 (MS4) with poor survival probability, and immune cell infiltration signatures revealed that MS4 tended to be the immunosuppressive subtype. Our study revealed that the CDC25C gene can be a distinct prognostic biomarker that indicates immune infiltration levels and response to immunotherapy in LUAD patients. Our experimental results concluded that CDC25C expression affects lung cancer cell invasion and migration, might play a key role in regulating Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) pathways.

conclusionsOur multi-omics result revealed a comprehensive set of molecular attributes associated with prognosis-related genes in LUAD at the cellular and tissue level. Identification of a subtype of immunosuppressive TME and prognostic signature for LUAD. We identified the cell cycle regulation gene CDC25C affects lung cancer cell invasion and migration, which can be used as a potential biomarker for LUAD.
