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

backgroundThe transcription factor Spi-1 proto-oncogene (SPI1, also known as PU.1) is a key regulator of signal communication in the immune system and is essential for the development of myeloid cells and lymphocytes. However, the potential role of SPI1 in gastric cancer (GC) and the correlations between SPI1 and immune infiltration remain unclear.

methodsIn the present study, multiple databases including ONCOMINE, TIMER, Kaplan-Meier Plotter, and The Cancer Genome Atlas were used to explore the expression levels and prognostic value of

resultsThe expression of SPI1 was increased significantly in GC according to multiple databases, and high expression of SPI1 was related to poor prognosis and progression of GC. The main factor influencing the high expression of SPI1 mRNA in GC may be diploidy, not DNA methylation. Moreover, immunohistochemistry, western blotting, and RT-qPCR assays also confirmed the upregulated expression of SPI1 in GC. CIBERSORT analysis revealed that SPI1 expression was correlated with seven types of TICs (naive B cells, resting memory CD4 T cells, activated memory CD4 T cells, activated natural killer cells, resting natural killer cells, M2 macrophages, and resting dendritic cells). Gene set enrichment analysis indicated that SPI1 might be related to immune activation in GC and participate in cell cycle regulation. In addition, based on SPI1-related immunomodulators, we developed multiple-gene risk prediction signatures and constructed a nomogram that can independently predict the clinical outcome of GC.

conclusionThe results of the present study suggest that SPI1 has a critical role in determining the prognosis of GC patients and may be a potential immunotherapeutic target.
