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

Genome-wide association studies have identified several germline variants in gastric cancer. Meanwhile, sequencing studies have characterized extensive somatic alterations that arise during gastric carcinogenesis. However, the relationship between the germline variants and somatic alterations is still unclear in gastric cancer. A total of 11 susceptibility loci and 276 driver genes of gastric cancer were determined based on previous studies and publicly available database. An enrichment analysis was made to detect whether driver genes were enriched in susceptibility regions. Besides, we performed a pathway enrichment analysis to find common-enrich pathways of cancer driver genes and susceptibility genes. Finally, on the basis of the gastric cancer samples and data from TCGA STAD project, we evaluated the associations between susceptibility loci and somatic alterations. Enrichment analysis showed that gastric cancer susceptibility genes were more likely to be enriched in driver genes than in all the genes (P = .05). The susceptibility genes and driver genes were commonly enriched in 8 biological pathways. Gastric cancer susceptibility locus of rs2285947 was associated with truncation mutation within Signaling by PDGF pathway (OR = 0.26, 95%CI: 0.12-0.55, P = 3.93 × 10
