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

BACKGROUND This study is aimed to investigate the prognostic significance of the expression of G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) in gastric cancer tissue using bioinformatics data and immunohistochemistry. MATERIAL AND METHODS Expression of GPER mRNA in gastric cancer tissues and normal adjacent tissues was investigated using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), and Oncomine database. Kaplan-Meier Plotter identified the association between GPER mRNA and prognosis. Correlation between GPER mRNA and DNA methylation used the cBioPortal for Cancer Genomics and the MethHC website. Genes co-expressed with GPER were identified from The Cancer Genome Atlas Stomach Adenocarcinoma (TCGA-STAD) underwent FunRich analysis. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot evaluated GPER protein expression in tissue microarrays (TMAs) and gastric cancer cell lines. RESULTS GPER mRNA and protein levels were significantly lower in gastric cancer tissue and cells lined when compared with normal tissues and cells. The results from GSE15459 showed that patients with low levels of GPER mRNA had a reduced overall survival (OS) (P=0.013) and disease-free survival (DFS) (P=0.019). A negative correlation (r=-0.611) between GPER mRNA and DNA methylation was found using the cBioPortal and MethHC. Co-expressed epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) genes were enriched with GPER (P<0.0001). Cox regression analysis showed that GPER protein expression was an independent prognostic factor (P=0.035) CONCLUSIONS Downregulation of GPER predicts poor prognosis in gastric cancer. GPER may act as a tumor suppressor through the regulation of EMT in gastric cancer.
