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

Lung cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers in the US. African-American (AA) men are more likely to develop lung cancer with higher incidence and mortality rates than European-American (EA) men. Herein, we report high-confidence alternative splicing (AS) events from high-throughput, high-depth total RNA sequencing of lung tumors and non-tumor adjacent tissues (NATs) in two independent cohorts of patients with adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC). We identified novel AS biomarkers with notable differential percent spliced in (PSI) values between lung tumors and NATs enriched in the AA and EA populations, which were associated with oncogenic signaling pathways. We also uncovered tumor subtype- and population-specific AS events associated with cell surface proteins and cancer driver genes. We highlighted significant AS events in SYNE2 specific to LUAD in both populations, as well as those in CD44 from EAs and TMBIM6 from AAs specific to LUAD. Here, we also present the validation of cancer signatures based on direct high-throughput reverse transcription-PCR. Our large survey of lung tumors presents a rich data resource that may help to understand molecular subtypes of lung tumor between AAs and EAs and reveal new therapeutic vulnerabilities that potentially advance health equity.
