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

backgroundGastric cancer (GC) is a major public health problem worldwide. In recent decades, the treatment of gastric cancer has improved greatly, but basic research and clinical application of gastric cancer remain challenges due to the high heterogeneity. Here, we provide new insights for identifying prognostic models of GC.

methodsWe obtained the gene expression profiles of GSE62254 containing 300 samples for training. GSE15459 and TCGA-STAD for validation, which contain 200 and 375 samples, respectively. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to identify gene modules. We performed Lasso regression and Cox regression analyses to identify the most significant five genes to develop a novel prognostic model. And we selected two representative genes within the model for immunohistochemistry staining with 105 GC specimens from our hospital to verify the prediction efficiency. Moreover, we estimated the correlation coefficient between our model and immune infiltration using the CIBERSORT algorithm. The data from GSE15459 and TCGA cohort validated the robustness and predictive accuracy of this prognostic model.

resultsOf the 12 gene modules identified, 1,198 green-yellow module genes were selected for further analysis. Multivariate Cox analysis was performed on genes from univariate Cox regression and Lasso regression analysis using the Cox proportional hazards regression model. Finally, we constructed a five gene prognostic model: Risk Score = [(-0.7547) * Expression (

conclusionThis study identified a potential risk model for prognosis and immune infiltration prediction in GC using WGCNA and Cox regression analysis.
