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) is a predominant subtype of non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma (NSCLC). It is typically asymptomatic and associated with high mortality rates. Despite recent advancements in screening technologies and therapeutic approaches, its pathogenesis still remains elusive. Therefore, it is imperative to explore new diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets for LUAD management. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have high self-renewal capacity and incur therapeutic resistance, thus, considered as crucial elements in initiating and promoting tumor development. Contextual to this, the present study reveals the role of the transcriptional activator E2F1 in LUAD oncogenesis and its association with various biological characteristics of lung cancer stem cells (LCSCs). Whereby, it may also serve as a crucial factor in regulating autophagy. Autophagy can modulate stemness by either promoting or inhibiting CSCs characteristics. Pertinently, our study integrated bioinformatics, in-vitro and in-vivo experiments to elucidate that E2F1 can induce ALDH1A1 through autophagy, thus promoting self-renewal and drug resistance of LCSCs, as well as tumorigenicity. Mechanistically, "E2F1-autophagy-ALDH1A1" axis enhanced the self-renewal capacity and drug resistance of LCSCs in a p53-dependent manner, highlighting the potential of E2F1 as a promising marker for LUAD.
