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

backgroundLINC00312 has shown to play a suppressive role in the development and progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the expression pattern and diagnostic role of circulating LINC00312 in NSCLC remain to be confused.

methodsA total of 319 patients diagnosed with NSCLC and 180 healthy volunteers were enrolled from the First Affiliated Hospital of Huzhou University between January, 2022 and December, 2023. The participates were randomly assigned into the training and validation groups with a ratio of 6:4, while the remaining was named as the exosomal group. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was employed to investigate the expression pattern of LINC00312 in NSCLC tissues, serum samples and cell lines. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was carried out for distinguishing NSCLC from healthy volunteers.

resultsHere, we revealed that LINC00312 was lowly expressed in NSCLC and low LINC00312 expression manifested a poor prognosis. Additionally, compared with the healthy volunteer group, a reduction of circulating LINC00312 in patients with NSCLC was observed in both the training and validation groups. Further correlation analysis indicated that circulating LINC00312 expression was tightly associated with lymph node metastasis, cancer thrombus, spread through air space (STAS) status and pathological type. Moreover, circulating LINC00312 showed a good performance to distinguish NSCLC from healthy volunteers with a higher sensitivity and specificity values. Lastly, exosomal LINC00312 level was also decreased in NSCLC compared with in healthy volunteers.

conclusionsTaken together, these data unveil that circulating LINC00312 was notably downregulated in NSCLC, offering a novel non-invasive marker for diagnosis of NSCLC.
