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

Functional studies of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are often performed in the context of only a single cancer type. However, the tissue-specific expression patterns of lncRNAs raise the question of whether lncRNA associations identified in one cancer type are relevant to other cancer types. Here, we examine the relationships between the expression levels of 50 cancer-related lncRNAs and survival data from 24 types of cancer in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) with the goal of identifying prognosis related lncRNAs. Our results suggest that high expression levels of certain lncRNAs are consistently associated with worse/better survival in a number of cancers, while other lncRNAs have different prognostic roles in different types of cancer. Our analysis also identifies 20 novel unadjusted associations that have not been reported before. In addition, in low-grade glioma (LGG), prognostic-related lncRNAs are identified after conditioning on known clinical biomarker and common therapy, revealing that 2 lncRNAs, FOXP4-AS1, and NEAT1, are associated with temozolomide response-a standard-of-care in LGG. Pathway analysis suggests NF-kB/STAT3 signaling pathway enrichment in LGG patients with high NEAT1 expression and DNA repair/myc gene set enrichment in LGG patients with high expression of FOXP4-AS1. Our work demonstrates the context dependency of lncRNAs across cancer types and highlights a number of lncRNAs as potential novel cancer prognosis markers.
