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

backgroundComputed tomography (CT)-detected extramural venous invasion (EMVI) has been identified as an independent factor that can be used for risk stratification and prediction of prognosis in patients with gastric cancer (GC). Overall survival (OS) is identified as the most important prognostic indicator for GC patients. However, the molecular mechanism of EMVI development and its potential relationship with OS in GC are not fully understood. In this radiogenomics-based study, we sought to investigate the molecular mechanism underlying CT-detected EMVI in patients with GC, and aimed to construct a genomic signature based on EMVI-related genes with the goal of using this signature to predict the OS. MATERIALS AND

methodsWhole mRNA genome sequencing of frozen tumor samples from 13 locally advanced GC patients was performed to identify EMVI-related genes. EMVI-prognostic hub genes were selected based on overlapping EMVI-related differentially expressed genes and OS-related genes, using a training cohort of 176 GC patients who were included in The Cancer Genome Atlas database. Another 174 GC patients from this database comprised the external validation cohort. A risk stratification model using a seven-gene signature was constructed through the use of a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator Cox regression model.

resultsPatients with high risk score showed significantly reduced OS (training cohort, p = 1.143e-04; validation cohort, p = 2.429e-02). Risk score was an independent predictor of OS in multivariate Cox regression analyses (training cohort, HR = 2.758; 95% CI: 1.825-4.169; validation cohort, HR = 2.173; 95% CI: 1.347-3.505; p < 0.001 for both). Gene functions/pathways of the seven-gene signature mainly included cell proliferation, cell adhesion, regulation of metal ion transport, and epithelial to mesenchymal transition.

conclusionsA CT-detected EMVI-related gene model could be used to predict the prognosis in GC patients, potentially providing clinicians with additional information regarding appropriate therapeutic strategy and medical decision-making.
