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

backgroundMetabolic reprogramming, particularly toward oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), is a hallmark of lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) and contributes to its aggressive phenotype and immunosuppressive microenvironment. While OXPHOS activation is increasingly recognized as a key metabolic feature in LUSC, its prognostic implications and associated gene signatures remain underexplored. This study aimed to identify OXPHOS-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and construct a robust prognostic signature for LUSC.

methodsUsing GEO datasets, we developed an OXPHOS-related prognostic signature

resultsAn 8-gene OXPHOS-related signature (LTBP1, MFGE8, ACTN1, CD59, CDC25C, SAAL1, SFXN4, PTTG1) was identified. High-risk patients exhibited significantly shorter overall survival than low-risk patients across all cohorts. The model demonstrated strong predictive accuracy for 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival. Notably, the high-risk group showed enriched pathways related to tumor stemness and immunosuppression.

conclusionWe developed and validated a novel OXPHOS-based gene signature that effectively stratifies LUSC patients by risk. This signature highlights the clinical relevance of OXPHOS in LUSC prognosis and may guide personalized therapeutic strategies targeting metabolic vulnerabilities. Study limitations include its retrospective design and lack of experimental validation.
