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

Gastric cancer remains a significant global health concern with poor prognosis. This study investigates the role of neutrophils in gastric cancer progression and their potential as prognostic indicators. Using multi-omics approaches, including Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA), machine learning, and single-cell analysis, we identified neutrophil-associated gene signatures and developed a robust prognostic model. Our findings reveal distinct gastric cancer subtypes based on neutrophil-associated genes, with one subtype showing increased neutrophil infiltration and poorer prognosis. Single-cell analysis uncovered neutrophil-associated alterations in cell composition, gene expression profiles, and intercellular communication within the tumor microenvironment. Additionally, we explored the relationship between neutrophil-associated genes, microbiota composition, and alternative splicing events in gastric cancer. Furthermore, we identified QKI as a key regulator of alternative splicing and demonstrated its role in promoting malignant phenotypes and enhancing TGF-beta signaling and epithelial-mesenchymal transition in gastric cancer cells by wet experiment. Lastly, the role of QKI in the association with drug resistance and the identification of specific agents for treating QKI-associated drug resistance were also explored. This comprehensive study provides novel insights into the complex interplay between neutrophils, the tumor microenvironment, microbiota, alternative splicing and gastric cancer progression, offering potential new targets for therapeutic intervention.
