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: Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine-disrupting chemical that may contribute to cancer development. However, its role in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate how BPA affects LUAD development by examining key genes involved in tumor progression and the immune microenvironment. Methods: Network toxicology, molecular docking, and clinical data analyses were performed to identify potential molecular targets of BPA in LUAD. Common genes between BPA targets and LUAD biomarkers were screened, and their biological significance was evaluated through survival analysis, immune infiltration assessment, and protein-ligand interaction studies. Results: A total of 218 overlapping genes were identified between BPA targets and LUAD biomarkers, including BUB1, BUB1B, CCNA2, CDK1, and UBE2C. These genes were strongly associated with LUAD progression, poor survival outcomes, and enhanced immune cell infiltration. Molecular docking revealed strong binding affinities between BPA and these proteins, suggesting potential disruption of their normal biological functions. Conclusion: This study provides valuable insights into the potential risks of BPA exposure in LUAD. The identified key genes and pathways may serve as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets, offering new directions for future research and public health strategies.
