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

objectiveTo investigate the value of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) methylation for early detection and prognostic monitoring of lung cancer.

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on the DNA methylation test results of 150 lung cancer patients and 100 patients with benign lung lesions enrolled from January 2021 to December 2023. Quantitative methylation fluorescence analysis and bisulfite sequencing were used to measure ctDNA gene methylation, with ROC curves assessing early-stage diagnostic value. Lung cancer patients were followed for 1 year, then grouped by survival status. Cox regression identified poor prognosis factors, and ROC curves evaluated ctDNA methylation's prognostic value. An external cohort of 80 lung cancer patients from May 2022 to December 2023 validated the model using ROC and calibration curves.

resultsThe positivity rates of SHOX2, CDO1, and SOX17 were significantly higher in lung cancer patients than those in controls (all

conclusionsAbnormal methylation of SHOX2, CDO1, and SOX17 is prevalent in lung cancer, potentially serving as biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognostic monitoring.
