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: Calcium signaling is critical in tumorigenesis. This study analyzed the characteristics of a calcium-related prognostic genes (CRPGs) signature in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) for prognostic value and explored Methods: Clinical and RNA sequencing data from LUAD patients were obtained from the TCGA and GEO databases. CRPGs were identified through univariate Cox and Kaplan-Meier survival analyses. Calcium-related subtypes were determined via unsupervised clustering. A prognostic signature was constructed and validated using external datasets. Differences in immune infiltration and potential mechanisms in LUAD were explored using seven algorithms. The relationship between signature genes, chemotherapy sensitivity, and potential targeted therapies was evaluated. Potential drug targets were identified using Mendelian randomization (MR) and phenome-wide association studies (PheWAS). The association between Results: The study identified 33 CRPGs and four subtypes among LUAD patients. The prognostic signature, comprising nine CRPGs, accurately predicted 1-, 2-, and 3-year overall survival. Conclusion: This study developed a reliable prognostic signature based on nine CRPGs for predicting LUAD patient outcomes.
