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: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is one of the most common tumors in terms of incidence and mortality worldwide. Posttranslational modifications, including crotonylation, play a crucial role in various biological processes and diseases. However, the role of crotonylation in LUAD remains unclear. Our research focuses on identifying key genes in LUAD that are linked to crotonylation and prognosis. We also aim to clarify their role in the LUAD microenvironment to advance clinical translation of related targets. Methods: We used RNA-sequencing data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) database to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to crotonylation in LUAD. Weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) was applied to construct gene networks, and hub genes were identified using protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis. The prognostic value of hub genes was assessed using Kaplan-Meier plots, and the correlation with immune infiltration was analyzed via Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER) and other algorithms. We then verified these genes through clinical samples and confirmed the role of Results: We identified Conclusions: Our study suggests that crotonylation-related genes, particularly
