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

purposeGastric cancer (GC) is aggressive cancer with a high mortality rate worldwide. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation is related to tumorigenesis, which is dynamically regulated by m6A modulators ("writer," "eraser," and "reader"). We conducted a comprehensive analysis of the m6A genes of GC patients in TCGA datasets to identify the potential diagnostic biomarkers. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe analyzed the expression profile of m6A genes in the TCGA cohort and constructed a diagnostic-m6A-score (DMS) by the LASSO-logistic model. In addition, by consensus cluster analysis, we identified two different subgroups of GC risk individuals by the expression profile of m6A modulators, revealing that YTHDF1's expression variation profile in GC diagnosis. We also performed RT-qPCR and WB verification in 17 pairs of GC specimens and paired adjacent non-tumor tissues and GC cell lines, and verified the expression trend of YTHDF1 in five GEO GC datasets. YTHDF1 expression and clinical features of GC patients were assessed by the UALCAN.

resultsThe DMS with high specificity and sensitivity (AUC = 0.986) is proven to distinguish cancer from normal controls better. Moreover, we found that the expression profile variation of YTHDF1 was significantly associated with the high-risk subtype of GC patients. RT-qPCR and Western blot results are consistent with silicon analysis, revealing that YTHDF1's potential oncogene role in GC tumor.

conclusionIn conclusion, we developed the m6A gene-based diagnostic signature for GC and found that YTHDF1 was significantly correlated with the high-risk subtype of GC patients, suggesting that YTHDF1 might be a potential target in GC early diagnosis.
