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

backgroundStomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of cell death, which plays an important role in the development of many cancers. Tumor-associated competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) regulate tumorigenesis and development. Our study aimed to construct ceRNA networks and explore the relationship between ferroptosis-related genes in the ceRNA network and immune infiltration in STAD.

methodsBased on the interactions among long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), and messenger RNAs (mRNAs), a ceRNA network was constructed to illustrate the relationships among lncRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs. Subsequently, gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) functional enrichment analyses were carried out to explore the functions and interactions of the differentially expressed (DE) mRNAs related to the ceRNA network. Differential expression and prognostic analysis of ferroptosis-related genes in the ceRNA network were performed using the R package "limma" and "survminer." The correlation between ferroptosis-related genes and tumor-infiltrating immune cells was analyzed using Spearman correlation analysis and CIBERSORT. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to validate the expression of ferroptosis-related genes in STAD cells lines.

resultsA ceRNA network consisting of 29 DElncRNAs, 31 DEmiRNAs, and 182 DEmRNAs was constructed. These DEmRNAs were significantly enriched in pathways related to the occurrence and development of STAD. The ferroptosis-related gene SLC1A5 was upregulated in STAD (P < 0.001) and was associated with better prognosis (P = 0.049). The CIBERSORT database and Spearman correlation analysis indicated that SLC1A5 was correlated with eight types of tumor-infiltrating immune cells and immune checkpoints, including PD-L1(CD-274) and PD-1(PDCD1). The SLC1A5 mRNA was found to be highly expressed in STAD cells lines.

conclusionsOur study provides insights into the function of ceRNAs in STAD and identifies biomarkers for the development of therapies for STAD. The ferroptosis-related gene SLC1A5 in the ceRNA network was associated with both tumor-infiltrating immune cells and immune checkpoints in the tumor microenvironment, suggesting that SLC1A5 may be a novel prognostic marker and a potential target for STAD immunotherapy in the future.
