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

backgroundNon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is characterised by its aggressiveness and poor prognosis. Early detection and accurate prediction of therapeutic responses remain critical for improving patient outcomes. In the present study, we investigated the potential of circulating microRNA (miRNA) as non-invasive biomarkers in patients with NSCLC.

methodsWe quantified miRNA expression in plasma from 122 participants (78 NSCLC; 44 healthy controls). Bioinformatic tools were employed to identify miRNA panels for accurate NSCLC diagnosis. Validation was performed using an independent publicly available dataset of more than 4000 NSCLC patients. Next, we correlated miRNA expression with clinicopathological information to identify independent prognostic miRNAs and those predictive of anti-PD-1 treatment response.

resultsWe identified miRNA panels for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) diagnosis. The LUAD panel consists of seven circulating miRNAs (miR-9-3p, miR-96-5p, miR-147b-3p, miR-196a-5p, miR-708-3p, miR-708-5p, miR-4652-5p), while the LUSC panel comprises nine miRNAs (miR-130b-3p, miR-269-3p, miR-301a-5p, miR-301b-5p, miR-744-3p, miR-760, miR-767-5p, miR-4652-5p, miR-6499-3p). Additionally, miR-135b-5p, miR-196a-5p, miR-31-5p (LUAD), and miR-205 (LUSC) serve as independent prognostic markers for survival. Furthermore, two miRNA clusters, namely miR-183/96/182 and miR-767/105, exhibit predictive potential in anti-PD-1-treated LUAD patients.

conclusionsCirculating miRNA signatures demonstrate diagnostic and prognostic value for NSCLC and may guide treatment decisions in clinical practice.
