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

Solute carrier (SLC) transporters play a dual role in the occurrence and progression of tumours by acting as both suppressors and promoters. However, the overall impact of SLC transcriptome signatures on the tumour microenvironment, biological behaviour and clinical stratification of gastric cancer has not been thoroughly investigated. Therefore, we comprehensively analysed the expression profiles of the SLC transporter family members to identify novel molecular subtypes in gastric cancer. We identified two distinct SLC subtypes, SLC-S1 and SLC-S2, using non-negative matrix factorization. These subtypes were markedly linked with the tumour microenvironment landscape, biological pathway activation and distinct clinical features of gastric cancer. Furthermore, a new scoring model, the SLC score, was developed to quantify the SLC subtypes. High SLC scores indicated a pattern of 'SLC-S2', characterized by stromal infiltration and activation, poor prognosis and insensitivity to chemotherapy and immunotherapy, but high sensitivity to imatinib. The SLC score could serve as a supplement to the Tumour Node Metastasis (TNM) staging system to guide personalized treatment strategies and predict prognosis for patients with gastric cancer.
