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

Background: Targeted therapies have improved the clinical outcomes of most patients with cancer. However, the heterogeneity of gastric cancer remains a major hurdle for precision treatment. Further investigations into tumor microenvironment heterogeneity are required to resolve these problems. Methods: In this study, bioinformatic analyses, including metabolism analysis, pathway enrichment, differentiation trajectory inference, regulatory network construction, and survival analysis, were applied to gain a comprehensive understanding of tumor microenvironment biology within gastric cancer using single-cell RNA-seq and public datasets and experiments were carried out to confirm the conclusions of these analyses. Results: We profiled heterogeneous single-cell atlases and identified eight cell populations with differential expression patterns. We identified two cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) subtypes, with particular emphasis on the role of inflammatory cancer-associated fibroblasts (iCAFs) in EMT and lipid metabolic crosstalk within the tumor microenvironment. Notably, we detected two differentiation states of iCAFs that existed in different tissues with discrepant expression of genes involved in immuno-inflammation or ECM remodeling. Moreover, investigation of tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells has revealed the functional diversity of myeloid cell lineages in gastric cancer. Of which a proliferative cell lineage named C1QC Conclusion: These findings provide insights for future cancer treatments and drug discovery.
