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

Selecting differentially expressed genes (DEGs) based on integrated bioinformatics analyses has been used in previous studies to explore potential biomarkers in gastric cancer (GC) with microarray and RNA sequencing data. However, the genes obtained may be inaccurate because of noisy data and errors, as well as insufficient clinical sample sizes. Thus, we aimed to find robust and strong DEGs with prognostic value for GC, where the robust rank aggregation method was employed to select significant DEGs from eight Gene Expression Omnibus data sets with a total of 140 up-regulated and 206 down-regulated genes. Network data mining was then used to screen hub genes, and 11 genes were filtered using Fisher's exact test. Based on these results, we built a prognostic signature with seven genes (FBN1, MMP1, PLAU, SPARC, COL1A2, COL2A1 and ATP4A) using stepwise multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression. According to the risk score for each patient, we found that high-risk group patients had significantly worse survival results compared with those in the low-risk group (log-rank test P-value < 0.001). This seven-gene signature was then validated with an external data set. Thus, we established a signature based on seven DEGs with prognostic value for GC patients using multi-steps bioinformatics methods, which may provide novel insights and potential biomarkers for prognosis, as well as possibly serving as new therapeutic targets in clinical applications.
