Expression and the Prognostic Value of Biglycan in Gastric Cancer.
Article in Computational and mathematical methods in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: Biglycan (BGN) is a family member of small leucine-rich repeat proteoglycans. High expression of BGN might enhance the invasion and metastasis in some types of tumors. Here, the prognostic significance of BGN was evaluated in gastric cancer. Results: For gastric cancer, the mRNA expression level of BGN in tumor tissue was significantly higher than that in normal tissue. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that higher expression of BGN mRNA was significantly associated with more reduced recurrence-free survival (RFS). GSEA results suggested that BGN was significantly enriched in gene signatures related to metastasis and poor prognosis, revealing that BGN might be associated with cell proliferation, poor differentiation, and high invasiveness of gastric cancer. Meanwhile, the putative TFs, including AR, E2F1, and TCF4, were predicted by bioinformatic analysis and also significantly correlated with expression of BGN in mRNA levels. Conclusion: High expression of BGN mRNA was significantly related to poor prognosis, which suggested that BGN was a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target of gastric cancer.
