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

To screen the key genes in the development of gastric cancer and their influence on prognosis. The GEO database was used to screen gastric cancer-related gene chips as a training set, and the R packages limma tool was used to analyze the differential genes expressed in gastric cancer tissues compared to normal tissues, and then the selected genes were verified in the validation set. The String database was used to calculate their Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, using Cytoscape software's Centiscape and other plug-ins to analyze key genes in the PPI network. The DAVID database was used to enrich and annotate gene functions of differential genes and PPI key module genes, and further explore correlation between expression level and clinical stage and prognosis. Based on clinical data and patient samples, differential expression of key node genes was verified by immunohistochemistry. The 63 characteristic differential genes screened had good discrimination between gastric cancer and normal tissues, and are mainly involved in regulating extracellular matrix receptor interactions and the PI3k-AKT signaling pathway. Key nodes in the PPI network regulate tumor proliferation and metastasis. Analysis of the expression levels of key node genes found that relative to normal tissues, the expression of ITGB1 and COL1A2 was significantly increased in gastric cancer tissues, and patients with late clinical stages of tumors had higher expression of ITGB1 and COL1A2 in tumor tissues, and their survival time was longer (P < 0.05). This study found that ITGB1 and COL1A2 are key genes in the development of gastric cancer and can be used as prognostic markers and potential new targets for gastric cancer.
