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

Ferroptosis is linked to various tumor biological traits, and alternative splicing (AS), a crucial step in mRNA processing, plays a role in the post-transcriptional regulation of ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs). A least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) penalized Cox regression analysis was utilized to build a prognostic signature based on 12 AS events (p < 0.05), which was validated in gastric cancer (GC) patients. The high-risk group (n = 203) showed enrichment in cancer and metastasis pathways (p < 0.05). Significant differences existed between the high- and low-risk groups in terms of tumor microenvironment (TME) cell infiltration and immune activities (p < 0.05). The low-risk group (n = 203) was characterized by immune activation and improved prognosis (p < 0.001). Additionally, targeted treatment and immunotherapy were more likely to benefit the low-risk group (p < 0.05). Correlation analysis was performed to detect related splicing factors (SF) (Cor>0.4, FDR<0.05). Furthermore, our functional assay results suggested that high SF3A2 expression might increase ferroptosis resistance and promote cell proliferation. In conclusion, the FRAs model we built has an advantage in predicting GC prognosis. The model's demonstration of variations in the immune microenvironment and drug response could potentially inform decisions regarding treatment strategies.
