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 adenocarcinoma (LUAD) exhibits differences between the sexes in incidence, prognosis, and therapy, suggesting underexplored molecular mechanisms. We conducted an integrative multi-omics analysis using the Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) datasets to contrast transcriptomes and proteomes between sexes. We used TIGER to analyze TCGA-LUAD expression data and found sex-biased activity of transcription factors (TFs); we used PTM-SEA with CPTAC-LUAD proteomics data and found sex-biased kinase activity. We combined these to construct a kinase-TF signaling network and discovered druggable pathways linked to cancer-related processes. We also found significant sex biases in clinically relevant TFs and kinases, including NR3C1, AR, and AURKA. Using the PRISM drug screening database, we identified potential sex-specific drugs, such as glucocorticoid receptor agonists and aurora kinase inhibitors. Our findings emphasize the importance of considering sex and using multi-omics network methods to discover personalized cancer therapies.
