Role of FBXW7 expression in gastric cancer: Meta‑analysis and bioinformatics analysis.

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
F-box/WD repeat domain-containing 7 (FBXW7, also known as CDC4) is a member of the F-box protein family, which is a component of the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. There is an association between expression of FBXW7 and the prognosis of gastric cancer. Therefore, the search for novel tumor biomarkers is key to predict the occurrence, recurrence and metastasis of gastric cancer. In the present study, systematic meta-analysis and bioinformatics analysis were performed to determine the expression levels of prognostic marker FBXW7 in gastric cancer. A literature search was conducted on August 10, 2022, using PubMed, SinoMed, Wanfang data and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases. The meta-analysis included six studies and showed that the expression of FBXW7 was significantly downregulated in gastric cancer compared with normal mucosal tissues (P<0.05). FBXW7 expression was positively associated with lymph node metastasis, TNM stage and differentiation (P<0.05). According to the Oncomine database, FBXW7 mRNA expression was higher in gastric cancer than in normal tissue (P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier plots showed that FBXW7 mRNA expression was positively associated with the overall and progression-free survival of patients with gastric cancer. According to the UALCAN and Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis databases, FBXW7 expression was downregulated in gastric cancer compared with normal tissue. FBXW7 may be involved in the entire process of gastric carcinogenesis and its low expression may make it a potential marker for the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer.
