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

G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the most prominent family of cell surface receptors, which can regulate various biological functions and play an essential role in many diseases. GPR176 is a member of the GPCRs family and has been rarely studied in cancer. We aim to investigate the diagnostic and prognostic value of GPR176 in gastric cancer (GC) and explore its potential mechanism. Through the TCGA database and real-time quantitative PCR, we found that the expression level of GPR176 was significantly increased in GC and had good value in the diagnosis and prognosis of GC. Vitro experiments revealed that GPR176 could promote the proliferation, migration, and invasion of GC cells and may be involved in regulating multiple tumors and immune-related signaling pathways. In addition, we found that GPR176 is associated with GC immune infiltration and may affect the immune efficacy of GC patients. In summary, the high GPR176 expression level was associated with poor prognosis, more robust immune infiltration, and worse immunotherapy efficacy in GC patients, suggesting that GPR176 may be an immune-related biomarker for GC that can promote the proliferation, migration, and invasion of GC cells.
