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: Earlier research has reported that transcription factors play a crucial role in the anti-tumorigenic immune response of lung cancer patients. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between post-translational modifications of transcription factors and histological fate and patient prognosis. Methods: Based on the information of 293 lung cancer patients in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to the interferon regulatory factor (IRF) and signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) families between patients experiencing early death and those with long-term survival were identified and characterized. A survival prediction model was established by incorporating 7 STAT genes and 9 IRF genes into the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis indicated that these two transcription factor families can govern lung cancer tissue differentiation and predict patient prognosis. Moreover, the Cox proportional hazards regression model was applied to select the genes with the highest predictive capability to construct a gene-based signature. Lastly, the data of 1,803 and 784 lung cancer patients from the Kaplan-Meier plotter (KMPLOT) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases were used to evaluate the accuracy and sensitivity of the model. Results: Based on the minimum criterion, TRIM28, IRF3, and STAT3 were employed to generate the prognostic model. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year area under the curve (AUC) values of the three-gene-based signature showed consistent results, signifying that the model had excellent accuracy and sensitivity in predicting overall survival (OS) for patients with lung cancer. Finally, the three-gene signature and tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging system were combined to construct a nomogram for evaluating the OS of lung cancer patients. TRIM28 may affect the stability of IRF3. Encouragingly, the predicted OS was highly consistent with the observed OS in multiple cohorts. Conclusions: Taken together, these findings implied that the predictive model based on the three-gene signature showed robust discriminatory performance.
