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
Peritoneal metastasis (PM) continues to limit the clinical efficacy of gastric cancer (GC). Early growth response 1 (EGR1) plays an important role in tumor cell proliferation, angiogenesis and invasion. However, the role of EGR1 derived from the tumor microenvironment in reshaping the phenotypes of GC cells and its specific molecular mechanisms in increasing the potential for PM are still unclear. In this study, we reported that EGR1 was significantly up-regulated in mesothelial cells from GC peritoneal metastases, leading to enhanced epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) and stemness phenotypes of GC cells under co-culture conditions. These phenotypes were achieved through the transcription and secretion of TGF-β1 by EGR1 in mesothelial cells, which could regulate the expression and internalization of CD44s. After being internalized into the cytoplasm, CD44s interacted with STAT3 to promote STAT3 phosphorylation and activation, and induced EMT and stemness gene transcription, thus positively regulating the metastasis of GC cells. Moreover, TGF-β1 secretion in the PM microenvironment was significantly increased compared with the matched primary tumor. The blocking effect of SHR-1701 on TGF-β1 was verified by inhibiting peritoneal metastases in xenografts. Collectively, the interplay of EGR1/TGF-β1/CD44s/STAT3 signaling between mesothelial cells and GC cells induces EMT and stemness phenotypes, offering potential as a therapeutic target for PM of GC.
