However, there was no correlation between the mRNA expression of EVI5 and clinicopathological parameters (Additional file 1: Table S1); More important, dataset extracted from Kaplan-Meier Plotter (http://www.kmplot.com) indicated that mRNA expression level of EVI5 was significantly associated with poor survival of patients with NSCLC (Fig. 1e, P < 0.01). The gene discussed is EVI5; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
