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

objectiveComputed tomography (CT) is an important tool for grading gastric cancer. Gastric cancer typically originates from epithelial cells of gastric mucosa. However, complementary markers for gastric cancer, relationship between DSCC1, GINS1 and gastric cancer remain unclear.

methodsGastric cancer data were obtained from gene expression omnibus (GEO). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was conducted. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed and analyzed. Functional enrichment analysis, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), gene expression heatmaps, immune infiltration analysis were performed. The most relevant diseases related to core genes were identified using Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD). TargetScan was used to screen miRNAs. Validation was carried out using Western blotting (WB) and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

results1243 DEGs were identified. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Gene and Genome (KEGG) analyses revealed significant enrichment in cell cycle regulation, macrophage migration control, basement membrane, extracellular regions, growth factor binding, protein complex binding, P53 signaling pathway, protein digestion and absorption, metabolic pathways. Immune infiltration analysis indicated that high expression of activated Mast cells and Neutrophils, with a strong positive correlation between them, may influence progression of gastric cancer. CTD analysis revealed associations between DSCC1, GINS1 and gastric tumors, gastrointestinal diseases, tumors, gastritis, inflammation, necrosis. WB and RT-PCR results demonstrated high expression of DSCC1 and GINS1 in gastric cancer.

conclusionThe expressions of DSCC1 and GINS1 are up-regulated in gastric cancer, which can be used as supplementary markers for CT diagnostic grading of gastric cancer.
