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

backgroundThe early diagnosis of gastric cancer (GC) and overcoming chemotherapy resistance is challenging. The aberrant expression of zinc finger protein 281 (ZNF281) and the over-activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway are oncogenic factors and confer tumor chemoresistance. ZNF281 modulates the Wnt/β-catenin pathway to influence malignant tumor behavior. However, the role of ZNF281 in GC chemotherapy and the relationship with the Wnt/β-catenin pathway have not been elucidated by researchers.

methodsWe explored differences in ZNF281 expression in Pan-cancer and normal tissues, the effect of its expression on prognosis of patients treated with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Cox regression was utilized to determine whether ZNF281 is an independent prognostic factor. Enrichment analysis was performed to explore the mechanism underlying ZNF281's role in 5-FU treatment. We assessed the relationship between ZNF281 and the tumour microenvironment (TME) and combined bulk-RNA and single-cell RNA data to analyse the relationship between ZNF281 and immune infiltration. In vitro experiments verified the effects of ZNF281 knockdown on proliferation, invasion, migration, apoptosis, DNA damage of GC cells with 5-FU treated and the Wnt/β-catenin pathway proteins.

resultsZNF281 was highly expressed in seven cancers and correlates with the prognosis. It is an independent prognostic factor in 5-FU treatment. ZNF281 correlates with TME score, CD8T cell abundance. ZNF281 is primarily associated with DNA repair and the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. ZNF281 knockdown enhanced the effect of 5-FU on phenotypes of GC cells.

conclusionWe identified and verified ZNF281 as one of the potential influencing factors of 5-FU treatment in GC and may be associated with the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Low ZNF281 may contribute to improved 5-FU sensitivity in GC patients.
