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

Transcription factors (TFs) are key regulators of cellular gene expression programs in health and disease. Here we set out to integrate genomic, transcriptomic, and phosphoproteomic data to characterize TF activity in lung adenocarcinoma patients. Using expression data from patient samples and genomic information on TF binding to super-enhancers, starting from a list of 1667 human TFs we calculated a patient-specific activity score and identified 34 with perturbed activity in the cancer samples, as evidenced by the expression of their direct targets. We then leveraged phosphoproteomic data on the same samples to identify phosphorylation events that modulate TF activity. This novel data integration approach to TF characterization led to the identification of ERG as a key regulator in lung adenocarcinoma whose activity strongly correlates with patient survival.
