Comprehensive Analysis of IGFBPs as Biomarkers in Gastric Cancer.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 papers.
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.
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
objectiveGastric cancer is the fifth most common cancer worldwide and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Insulin-like growth-factor-binding proteins (IGFBPs) were initially identified as passive inhibitors that combined with insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) in serum. However, more recent data have shown that they have different expression patterns and a variety of functions in the development and occurrence of cancers. Thus, their various roles in cancer still need to be elucidated. This study aimed to explore the IGFBPs and their prognostic value as markers in gastric cancer.
methodsOncomine, Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA), Kaplan-Meier Plotter, cBioPortal, GeneMANIA, and TIMER were used to analyze the differential expression, prognostic value, genetic alteration, and association with immune cell infiltration of IGFPBs in gastric cancer.
resultsExpression levels of IGFBP3, IGFBP4, and IGFBP7 were significantly elevated in gastric cancer tissues, whereas those of IGFBP1 were reduced in normal tissues. IGFBP1/5/7 expression was significantly associated with overall survival whereas IGFBP6/7 expression was significantly correlated with disease-free survival in gastric cancer patients. IGFBP3/5/6/7 were associated with clinical cancer stage. Gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome analyses showed that IGFBP3/5/7 were mainly enriched in focal adhesion, extracellular matrix structural constituent, cell-substratist junction, extracellular structure, and matrix organization. Stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) and gastric cancer had more IGFBP1-7 mutations than other tumor types. Hub gene analysis showed that TP53 and IGF2 expression was significantly elevated in STAD patients; PLG, PAPPA, AFP, and CYR61 were associated with overall survival rate; and IGFALS, PLG, IGF1, AHSG, and FN1 were associated with disease-free survival. Finally, IGFBP3-7 were all associated with cancer-associated fibroblast infiltration in STAD, colon adenocarcinoma, and rectal adenocarcinoma.
conclusionOur study provides a comprehensive analysis and selection of IGFBPs as prognostic biomarkers in STAD. This was the first bioinformatic analysis study to describe the involvement of IGFBPs, especially IGFBP7, in gastric cancer development through the extracellular matrix.
