Identification and validation of CCN family genes to predict the prognosis in gastric cancer.

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
backgroundGastric cancer (GC) is a deadly malignancy with an ever-increasing incidence worldwide. The cellular communication network (CCN) family serves as matricellular proteins and exerts their various functions via regulating cell proliferation and differentiation. This study aimed to perform an integrated analysis of CCNs to predict the prognosis in GC.
methodsThe microarray datasets were obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus database to identify the differentially expressed genes between GC and non-tumor tissues. Functional enrichment and genetic alteration analysis revealed the biological functions and alteration status associated with CCNs. We analyzed the mRNA and protein expressions of CCN family in GC patients. Furthermore, the prognostic value of distinct CCN family members were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier plotter database. Finally, the human gastric cancer cell lines were used for in vitro experiments to further validate the role of WISP1.
results26 genes were firstly identified to be significantly highly expressed in gastric tumor tissues. CCN family genes were identified to predict the prognosis in GC. Among the six CCNs, WISP1 is upregulated in GC tissues and its highly expression is associated with poor survival in GC patients. Moreover, a significant correlation is found between the expression of WISP1 and the pathological stage of patients with GC. Additionally, in vitro experiments demonstrated that WISP1 promotes the proliferation and invasive potential of GC cells, suggesting it may be a potential therapeutic target for GC.
conclusionsA comprehensive bioinformatic analysis of CCN genes provides new insights into the potential roles of this family in GC. Importantly, WISP1 may be a good prognostic predictor and a potential therapeutic target for GC.
