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

Brain metastasis has a high incidence and poor prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). We sought to identify genes associated with LUAD brain metastasis and with the prognosis of patients with LUAD. Differential gene expression analysis was performed on LUAD patients with and without distant metastasis from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and LUAD patients with and without brain metastasis from the GEO GSE14108 and GSE10072 data sets. Subsequently, a LASSO model was constructed using the genes differentially expressed in both analyses to screen for prognostic genes. A risk model based on 11 genes was established by screening prognostic genes. Subsequently, a prognostic prediction model was developed based on the risk model. Expression and survival analysis of the identified genes in metastatic LUAD was assessed. As a result, differential gene expression analysis indicated that compared to primary lung cancer, the expression of CMAS, NEK2, and SHCBP1 was significantly upregulated in metastatic lung cancer, whereas the expression of IL2 was significantly downregulated. Additionally, these genes exhibited strong correlations with the overall survival of LUAD patients. Finally, compared with LUAD patients without brain metastasis, immunohistochemistry analysis verified CMAS, NEK2, and SHCBP1 exhibited increased expression in LUAD with brain metastasis.
