Low expression of transferrin receptor 2 predict poor prognosis in gastric cancer patients.
Article in The Kaohsiung journal of medical sciences, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
This study was to detect the expression level of transferrin receptor 2 (TfR2) in gastric cancer and to analyze its value in predicting the prognosis of gastric cancer patients. Real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) was applied to detect the mRNA expression of TfR2 in gastric cancer tissues and paired adjacent nontumorous tissues. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and western blotting were used to determine the protein expression of TfR2 in gastric cancer, and the relationship with the prognosis of gastric cancer patients was analyzed. The results were: (1) The mRNA and protein levels of TfR2 in gastric cancer tissues were remarkably lower than those in adjacent nontumorous gastric tissue (P < .05). (2) Clinicopathological analysis showed that the expression level of TfR2 was significantly correlated with TNM stage of patients (P = .047). (3) The results of univariate survival analysis showed that histological grade, T stage, N stage, M stage, Lauren's classification, and TfR2 expression level influenced the overall survival of gastric cancer patients. Multivariate survival analysis showed that low TfR2 expression (HR = 1.671, 95%CI: 1.006-2.774, P = .047), poor differentiation (HR = 2.123, 95%CI: 1.188-3.795, P = .011), and M1 stage (HR = 8.541, 95%CI: 3.416-21.353, P < .001) were independent risk factors affecting the overall survival of gastric cancer patients. In conclusion, TfR2 exhibited low expression in gastric cancer tissue, and is an independent prognostic factor of gastric cancer patients.
