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

objectivesEpstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is associated with a better response to anti-PD1 immunotherapy. We hypothesised that genetic alterations induced by EBV infection are responsible for the activation of key immune responses and hence are predictive of anti-PD1 efficacy.

methodsWith transcriptome data of gastric cancer (GC), we explored differentially expressed genes (DEGs) specific for EBV infection and performed coexpression network analysis using the DEGs to identify the consistent coexpression genes (CCGs) between EBV-positive and EBV-negative GC tissues. We selected the tag genes of the CCGs and validated them using RNA sequencing and immunohistochemistry. We established murine models and collected tissues from clinical patients to test the value of

resultsWe identified 290 CCGs and validated the tag gene

conclusionHigher SLAMF8 expression may predict better anti-PD1 immunotherapy efficacy in GI cancer.
