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 is a fatal gastrointestinal cancer with high morbidity and poor prognosis. The dismal 5-year survival rate warrants reliable biomarkers to assess and improve the prognosis of gastric cancer. Distinguishing driver mutations that are required for the cancer phenotype from passenger mutations poses a formidable challenge for cancer genomics.

methodsWe integrated the multi-omics data of 293 primary gastric cancer patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) to identify key driver genes by establishing a prognostic model of the patients. Analyzing both copy number alteration and somatic mutation data helped us to comprehensively reveal molecular markers of genomic variation. Integrating the transcription level of genes provided a unique perspective for us to discover dysregulated factors in transcriptional regulation.

resultsWe comprehensively identified 31 molecular markers of genomic variation. For instance, the copy number alteration of WASHC5 (also known as KIAA0196) frequently occurred in gastric cancer patients, which cannot be discovered using traditional methods based on significant mutations. Furthermore, we revealed that several dysregulation factors played a hub regulatory role in the process of biological metabolism based on dysregulation networks. Cancer hallmark and functional enrichment analysis showed that these key driver (KD) genes played a vital role in regulating programmed cell death. The drug response patterns and transcriptional signatures of KD genes reflected their clinical application value.

conclusionsThese findings indicated that KD genes could serve as novel prognostic biomarkers for further research on the pathogenesis of gastric cancers. Our study elucidated a multidimensional and comprehensive genomic landscape and highlighted the molecular complexity of GC.
