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

Gastric cancer (GC) is the fourth most common tumor and the second most common cause of cancer-associated mortality worldwide. Current tumor biomarkers for GC, such as serum carcinoembryonic antigen and carbohydrate antigen 19-9, are not ideal due to their limited role as prognostic indicators for GC. Proteasome subunit α7 (PSMA7) is a multifunctional protein, which has been revealed to be involved in the development and progression of various types of malignancy. However, little is known about the role of PSMA7 in GC. In the present study, PSMA7 was identified to be overexpressed at the mRNA and protein levels in GC tissues, compared with in non-tumor tissues, using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry. Furthermore, PSMA7 expression is associated with tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, and Tumor-Node-Metastasis stage. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis identified that PSMA7 expression is an independent prognostic factor for poor survival. Kaplan-Meier survival curves revealed that high PSMA7 expression is associated with a poor prognosis in patients with GC. Overall, the results of the present study suggested that PSMA7 may be a promising biomarker for the prognosis of GC, and may represent a new diagnostic marker and molecular therapeutic target for GC.
