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
purposeThe serine protease inhibitor clade E member 1 (SERPINE1) has been studied as a potential biomarker in a variety of cancers, but poorly studied in gastric cancer (GC). The purpose of this study was to explore the prognostic value of SERPINE1 in GC and primarily analyze its functions.
methodsWe analyzed the the prognostic value of SERPINE1 and studied the relationship with clinicopathologic biomarkers in gastric cancer. The expression of SERPINE1 was analyzed by GEO and TCGA databases. Moreover, we validated the results by immunohistochemistry. Next, the correlation analysis between SERPINE1 and the cuproptosis-related genes was analyzed by the "Spearman" method. CIBERSORT and TIMER algorithms were used to analyze the correlation of SERPINE1 with immune infiltration. Furthermore, GO and KEGG gene enrichment analyses were used to study the functions and pathways that SERPINE1 might be involved in. Then, drug sensitivity analysis was performed using CellMiner database. Finally, a cuproptosis-immune-related prognostic model was constructed using genes related to immune and cuproptosis, and verified against external datasets.
resultsSERPINE1 was up-regulated in gastric cancer tissues, which tends toward poor prognosis. Using immunohistochemistry experiment, the expression and prognostic value of SERPINE1 were verified. Then, we found that SERPINE1 was negatively correlated with cuproptosis-related genes FDX1, LIAS, LIPT1, and PDHA1. On the contrary, SERPINE1 was positively correlated with APOE. This indicates the effect of SERPINE1 on the cuproptosis process. Furthermore, by conducting immune-related analyses, it was revealed that SERPINE1 may promote the inhibitory immune microenvironment. The infiltration level of resting NK cells, neutrophils, activated mast cells, and macrophages M2 was positively correlated with SERPINE1. However, B cell memory and plasma cells were negatively correlated with SERPINE1. Functional analysis showed that SERPINE1 was closely related to angiogenesis, apoptosis, and ECM degradation. The KEGG pathway analysis showed that SERPINE1 may be associated with P53, Pi3k/Akt, TGF-β, and other signaling pathways. Drug sensitivity analysis showed that SERPINE1 could be also seen as a potential treatment target. The risk model based on SERPINE1 co-expression genes could better predict the survival of GC patients than SERPINE1 alone. We also verified the prognostic value of the risk score by GEO external datasets.
conclusionSERPINE1 is highly expressed in gastric cancer and related to poor prognosis. SERPINE1 may regulate cuproptosis and the immune microenvironment by a series of pathways. Therefore, SERPINE1 as a prognostic biomarker and potential therapeutic target deserves further study.
