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

Fatty acid metabolism (FAM) is associated with prognosis and immune microenvironment remodeling in many tumors. It is currently unknown how FAM affects the immunological microenvironment and prognosis of Gastric cancer (GC). Therefore, the current work aims to categorize GC samples based on the expression status of genes involved in FAM and to identify populations that might benefit from immunotherapy. In total, 50 FAM genes associated with overall survival (OS) were determined through univariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis by mining the public TCGA and GEO databases. The GSE84437 and TCGA-STAD cohort samples were divided into two clusters using the "NMF" R package. According to the survival curve, patients in Cluster-1 showed considerably longer OS than those in Cluster-2. Patients in Cluster-1 exhibited earlier T stages, more intestinal GCs, and were older. MSI molecular subtypes were mainly distributed in Cluster-1, while GS molecular subtypes were distributed primarily in Cluster-2. There were 227 upregulated and 22 down-regulated genes (logFC > 1 or logFC < - 1, FDR < 0.05) in Cluster-2 compared with Cluster-1. One hub module (edges = 64, nodes = 12) was identified with a module score of 11.636 through Cytoscape plug-in MCODE. KEGG and GO analysis showed that the hub genes were associated with the cell cycle and cell division. Different immune cell infiltrates profile, and immune pathway enrichment existed between the subtypes. In conclusion, the current findings showed that practically all immunological checkpoint and immunoregulatory genes were elevated in patients with Cluster-2 GC, indicating that FAM subtypes may be crucial in GC immunotherapy.
