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

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is frequently diagnosed late and has poor survival. The two predominant subtypes of NSCLC, adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), are currently differentially diagnosed using immunohistochemical markers; however, they are increasingly recognized as very different cancer types suggestive of potential for new, more targeted therapies. There are extensive efforts to find more precise and noninvasive differential diagnostic tools. Here, we examined these two NSCLC subtypes for differences that may inform treatment and identify potential novel therapeutic pathways. We presented a comparative analysis of transcriptomic and proteomic expression in tumors from a cohort of 22 NSCLC patients: 8 LUSC and 14 LUAD. Comparing NSCLC subtypes, we found differential gene expression related to cell differentiation for LUSC and cellular structure and immune response regulation for LUAD. Differential protein expression between NSCLC subtypes was related to extracellular structure for LUSC and metabolic processes, including glucose metabolism for LUAD. This direct comparison was more informative about subtype-specific pathways than between each subtype and control (nontumor) tissues. Many of our observations between NSCLC subtypes support and inform existing observations and reveal differences that may aid research seeking to identify and validate novel subtype biomarkers or druggable targets.
