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 one of the most common types of cancer worldwide. Patients must be identified at an early stage of tumor progression for treatment to be effective. The aim of the present study was to identify potential biomarkers with diagnostic value in patients with GC. To examine potential therapeutic targets for GC, four Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets were downloaded and screened for differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses were subsequently performed to study the function and pathway enrichment of the identified DEGs. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed. The CytoHubba plugin of Cytoscape was used to calculate the degree of connectivity of proteins in the PPI network, and the two genes with the highest degree of connectivity were selected for further analysis. Additionally, the two DEGs with the largest and smallest log Fold Change values were selected. These six key genes were further examined using Oncomine and the Kaplan-Meier plotter platform. A total of 99 upregulated and 172 downregulated genes common to all four GEO datasets were screened. The DEGs were primarily enriched in the Biological Process terms: 'extracellular matrix organization', 'collagen catabolic process' and 'cell adhesion'. These three KEGG pathways were significantly enriched in the categories: 'ECM-receptor interaction', 'protein digestion and absorption', and 'focal adhesion'. Based on Oncomine, expression of
