Unveiling the shared genes between systemic sclerosis and lung cancer.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
The risk of lung cancer is significantly increased in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc), yet the specific genes underlying this association remain unexplored. Our study aims to identify genes shared by SSc and lung cancer. We identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from SSc and lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) datasets (SSc: GSE95065, LUAD: GSE136043) in the GEO database. We found shared genes by intersecting top genes in protein-protein interaction networks by the STRING database. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was calculated for each shared gene in validation datasets (SSc: GSE231692; LUAD: GSE43458), identifying PRKG2 as the core shared gene. We used the UALCAN platform to assess PRKG2 expression in LUAD patients at various stages and lymph node metastasis states, and compared disease-free survival (DFS) between low and high PRKG2 expression LUAD groups. PRKG2 was overexpressed in A549 cells to study its impact on lung cancer cell proliferation and invasion
