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

backgroundStromal cells play an important role in the process of tumor progression, but the relationship between stromal cells and metabolic reprogramming is not very clear in gastric cancer (GC).

methodsMetabolism-related genes associated with stromal cells were identified in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and GSE84437 datasets, and the two datasets with 804 GC patients were integrated into a training cohort to establish the prognostic signature. Univariate Cox regression analysis was used to screen for prognosis-related genes. A risk score was constructed by LASSO regression analysis combined with multivariate Cox regression analysis. The patients were classified into groups with high and low risk according to the median value. Two independent cohorts, GSE62254 (n = 300) and GSE15459 (n = 191), were used to externally verify the risk score performance. The CIBERSORT method was applied to quantify the immune cell infiltration of all included samples.

resultsA risk score consisting of 24 metabolic genes showed good performance in predicting the overall survival (OS) of GC patients in both the training (TCGA and GSE84437) and testing cohorts (GSE62254 and GSE15459). As the risk score increased, the patients' risk of death increased. The risk score was an independent prognostic indicator in both the training and testing cohorts suggested by the univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. The patients were clustered into four subtypes according to the quantification of 22 kinds of immune cell infiltration (ICI). The proportion of ICI Cluster C with the best prognosis in the low-risk group was approximately twice as high as that in the high-risk group, and the risk score of ICI Cluster C was significantly lower than that of the other three subtypes.

conclusionOur study proposed the first scheme for prognostic risk classification of GC from the perspective of tumor stromal cells and metabolic reprogramming, which may contribute to the development of therapeutic strategies for GC.
