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

backgroundGastric Carcinoma is one of the most lethal cancer around the world, and is also the most common cancers in Eastern Asia. A lot of differentially expressed genes have been detected as being associated with Gastric Carcinoma (GC) progression, however, little is known about the underlying dysfunctional regulation mechanisms. To address this problem, we previously developed a differential networking approach that is characterized by involving differential coexpression analysis (DCEA), stage-specific gene regulatory network (GRN) modelling and differential regulation networking (DRN) analysis.

resultIn order to implement differential networking meta-analysis, we developed a novel framework which integrated the following steps. Considering the complexity and diversity of gastric carcinogenesis, we first collected three datasets (GSE54129, GSE24375 and TCGA-STAD) for Chinese, Korean and American, and aimed to investigate the common dysregulation mechanisms of gastric carcinogenesis across racial groups. Then, we constructed conditional GRNs for gastric cancer corresponding to normal and carcinoma, and prioritized differentially regulated genes (DRGs) and gene links (DRLs) from three datasets separately by using our previously developed differential networking method. Based on our integrated differential regulation information from three datasets and prior knowledge (e.g., transcription factor (TF)-target regulatory relationships and known signaling pathways), we eventually generated testable hypotheses on the regulation mechanisms of two genes, XBP1 and GIF, out of 16 common cross-racial DRGs in gastric carcinogenesis.

conclusionThe current cross-racial integrative study from the viewpoint of differential regulation networking provided useful clues for understanding the common dysfunctional regulation mechanisms of gastric cancer progression and discovering new universal drug targets or biomarkers for gastric cancer.
