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

While NUSAP1's association with various tumors is established, its predictive value for prognosis and immunotherapy in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains unconfirmed. We analyzed Nucleolar Spindle-Associated Protein 1 (NUSAP1) gene expression in TCGA and GTEx datasets and validated it in clinicopathological tissues using qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. Additionally, we investigated NUSAP1's relationship with patient prognosis across TCGA and five GEO cohorts. The IMvigor210 cohort was utilized to explore NUSAP1's association with immunotherapy efficacy. Furthermore, single-cell RNA-sequencing data was used to examine the correlation between NUSAP1 and immune cell infiltration. Finally, we analyzed the relationship between NUSAP1 and m6A methylation. NUSAP1 expression was significantly elevated in tumor tissues, correlating with poorer prognosis in LUAD patients. It exhibited a significant correlation with immune cell infiltration in the tumor microenvironment, predominantly expressed in Tprolif cells. LUAD patients with heightened NUSAP1 expression may derive greater benefit from anti-PD-L1 treatment. Additionally, NUSAP1 was tightly linked with m6A methylation. Enrichment analysis revealed its association with key biological functions, including lipid metabolism and cell cycle regulation. Our comprehensive analysis underscores NUSAP1's potential as a prognostic and immunotherapeutic biomarker for LUAD, warranting further investigation.
