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

backgroundStomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) is one of the most prevalent malignances and ranks fifth in incidence and third in cancer-related death among all malignances. The prognosis of STAD is poor. The circadian clock is regulated by interlocked transcriptional-translational feedback loops that orchestrate circadian rhythms in some biological processes, including the immune response and metabolism. However, the association between core circadian clock genes and STAD patient prognosis is unclear. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn our study, bioinformatics methods were performed to explore the expression and prognostic value of core circadian clock genes in STAD and their association with immune infiltration.

resultsThe mRNA levels of CLOCK, CRY1 and NR1D1 were upregulated, while the mRNA levels of CRY2, PER1, PER3 and RORA were downregulated in STAD tissues compared with normal tissues. Core circadian clock genes exert promoting or inhibiting effects on certain cancer-related hallmark pathways, including the DNA damage response, cell cycle, apoptosis and RAS/MAPK pathways. Moreover, core circadian clock genes were linked to drug sensitivity or drug resistance. Prognosis analysis revealed that high expression of PER1 and NR1D1 was associated with poor overall survival, progression-free survival, and disease-free survival rates in STAD patients. Validation analysis further confirmed our result. Immune infiltration analysis demonstrated that the expression of ICOSLG and CD70 was significantly correlated with immune cells, immune biomarkers, chemokines and their receptors.

conclusionsOur results suggest that NR1D1 and PER1 are prognostic biomarkers and are associated with immune infiltration in STAD.
