Unveiling the role of RARs in stomach adenocarcinoma: clinical implications and prognostic biomarkers.

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
Background: Retinoic acid receptors (RARs) family are known to play a significant role in the occurrence and development of tumors. However, the relationship between RARs and stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) has not yet been clearly identified. The aim of this study is to evaluate the expression profile and clinical value of the RARs family in STAD. Methods: The expression level, clinical characteristics, prognostic value, immunity-related evaluations, genetic alteration and methylation site of RARs in STAD were explored using a series of online databases including gene expression profiling interactive analysis (GEPIA), tumor immune estimation resource (TIMER), University of Alabama at Birmingham cancer data (UALCAN), Human Protein Atlas (HPA), Kaplan-Meier plotter, gene set cancer analysis (GSCA), cBioPortal, MethSurv, GeneMANIA, LinkedOmics, Metascape, Search tool for the retrieval of interacting genes (STRING), tumor immune single-cell hub (TISCH) and cancer cell line encyclopedia (CCLE). Results: We discovered dramatically increased expression of RARA and decreased expression of RARB in STAD tissues, and many clinical variables were closely related to RARs. Notably, higher expressions of RARA and RARB as well as lower expression of RARG correlated with worse overall survival (OS) for STAD patients. The clinical value of prognostic model indicated that RARs were identified to be potential prognostic biomarkers for STAD patients. Moreover, RARB was closely related to immune cell infiltration, which had effect on the role of RARB in STAD prognosis. And the genetic alteration of RARB was significantly associated with the longer disease-free survival (DFS) of STAD patients. Additionally, some CpG sites of the RARs family were related with the prognosis of STAD patients. Functional enrichment analyses indicated that several pathways in STAD might be pivotal pathways regulated by RARs. At the single-cell level, there was some extent of infiltration of tumor microenvironment-related cells in the RARs expression in STAD. Conclusions: Our results evaluated the expression profile and clinical values of RARs in patients with STAD, which provided a basis for future in-depth exploration of the specific mechanisms of each member of RARs in STAD.
