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: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignant tumors and is associated with poor prognosis. To improve the prognosis of GC patients, an effective immune-related prognostic biomarker is urgent. Here, we aim to explore the correlation between the expression of procalcitonin gamma subfamily A, 10 (PCDHGA10) and clinicopathological characteristics, especially its relation with tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TILs) in GC. Methods: The differential mRNA expression of PCDHGA10 between GC tissues and normal gastric mucosa and prognostic potential were assessed from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Then, based on tissue microarrays (TMAs) with multiplex immunohistochemistry (mIHC) from GC patients, we statistically assess the correlation between PCDHGA10 protein expression and the clinical profiles and prognosis of the patients. Additionally, with IHC and mIHC, we applied the machine-learning algorithms to evaluate the localization and expression levels of TILs and immune checkpoints in the tumor microenvironment. We analyzed the relationship between PCDHGA10 protein expression and TILs and immune checkpoints. Results: Through the database and TMA analysis, the expression of PCDHGA10 was significantly higher in GC tissues compared with normal tissues. High PCDHGA10 expression independently predicted poor prognosis in GC. Additionally, elevated PCDHGA10 expression was positively associated with the number of CD8 Conclusions: PCDHGA10 might be a potential prognostic marker and an immunological therapeutic target for GC.
