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

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignant tumors with poor prognosis. So far, other than the HER2, GC lacks effective therapeutic targets. Transferrin receptor 1 (TFR1) expressions are abnormally upregulated in various cancers for the satisfaction of iron demand increased. This study aimed to explore the expression and clinical value of TFR1 in GC. Methods: A tissue microarray including GC tissues and matched noncancerous tissues from 155 GC patients were collected. Moreover, the level of TFR1 expression was detected by immunohistochemistry, and we also evaluated the relationship between TFR1 expression and the clinicopathologic characteristics. What is more, univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were used to evaluate the risk factors and independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of GC. Results: We found that TFR1 was overexpressed in GC tissues compared with noncancerous tissues, and a significant relationship was found between TFR1 expression and age ( Conclusions: TFR1 was overexpressed in GC and its aberrant expression identifies a novel potential prognostic marker and therapeutic target. In addition, TFR1 expression may be associated with the immune microenvironment and suppress the immune response via regulating the PD-L1 expression.
