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

objectivesNucleolar and spindle-associated protein 1 (NUSAP1) is crucial for chromosomal segregation and spindle assembly, its expression correlates with high morbidity and mortality rates, necessitating better understanding of prognosis-related networks.

methodsThe study used databases like KM Plotter, TNMplot, UALCAN, OncoMX, GEPIA2, OncoDB, ENCORI, TIMER 2.0, CancerSEA, miRNet, CellTracer, TISIDB, GSCA, and the Enrichr database to analyze NUSAP1 expression in lung cancer tumors and normal tissues.

resultsThe NUSAP1 gene is overexpressed in both adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC). However, LUAD has a poor prognosis for overall survival (OS) (HR = 1.94), first progression (FP) (HR = 1.96), and post-progression survival (PPS) (HR = 1.48), while LUSC showed no significant data. High NUSAP1 expression is significantly associated with adenocarcinoma smoker patients. The study also found a strong correlation between lncRNA-TMPO-AS1 overexpression and poor OS prognosis in LUAD smokers, a negative relationship between miRNA hsa-let-7b-5p and TMPO-AS1/E2F1/NUSAP1 expression, and a positive correlation between S and M phase cell cycle checkpoints, tumor infiltrating CD4 immune cells, and NUSAP1 expression in lung adenocarcinoma.

conclusionSmokers with lung adenocarcinoma have worse prognoses due to higher E2F1, NUSAP1, and TMPO-AS1 levels, possibly due to TMPO-AS1 sponge formation with hsa-let-7b-5p.
