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

Background: Glutathione (GSH) metabolism supports tumor redox balance and drug resistance, while long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) influence lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) progression. This study developed a prognostic model using GSH-related lncRNAs to predict LUAD outcomes and assess tumor immunity. Methods: This study analyzed survival data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and identified GSH metabolism-related lncRNAs using Pearson correlation. A prognostic model was built with Cox and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) methods and validated by Kaplan-Meier analysis, Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves, and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Functional analysis revealed immune infiltration and drug sensitivity differences. Quantitative PCR and experimental studies confirmed the role of lnc-AL162632.3 in LUAD. Results: Our model included a total of nine lncRNAs, namely AL162632.3, AL360270.1, LINC00707, DEPDC1-AS1, GSEC, LINC01711, AL078590.2, AC026355.2, and AL096701.4. The model effectively forecasted patient survival, and the nomogram, incorporating additional clinical risk factors, satisfied clinical needs adequately. Patient stratification based on model scores revealed significant disparities in immune cell composition, functionality, and mutations between groups. Additionally, variations were noted in the IC50 values for key lung cancer medications such as Cisplatin, Docetaxel, and Paclitaxel. Conclusion: This study identified GSH metabolism-related lncRNAs as key prognostic factors in LUAD and developed a model for risk stratification. High-risk patients showed increased tumor mutation burden (TMB) and stemness, emphasizing the potential of personalized immunotherapy to improve survival outcomes.
