Coagulation indices and fibrinogen degradation products as predictive biomarkers for tumor-node-metastasis staging and metastasis in gastric cancer.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 prevalent malignancy with a substantial health burden and high mortality rate, despite advances in prevention, early detection, and treatment. Compared with the global average, Asia, notably China, reports disproportionately high GC incidences. The disease often progresses asymptomatically in the early stages, leading to delayed diagnosis and compromised outcomes. Thus, it is crucial to identify early diagnostic biomarkers and enhance treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes and reduce mortality.
aimTo investigate coagulation and fibrinogen products in GC tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage and metastasis correlation.
methodsRetrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 148 patients with GC treated at the Civil Aviation Shanghai Hospital between December 2022 and December 2023. The associations of coagulation indices - partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), thrombin time (TT), fibrinogen, fibrinogen degradation products (FDP), fasting blood glucose, and D-dimer (D-D) with TNM stage and distant metastasis were examined.
resultsProlongation of APTT, PT, and TT was significantly correlated with the GC TNM stage. Hence, abnormal coagulation system activation was closely related to disease progression. Elevated FDP and D-D were significantly associated with distant metastasis in GC (
conclusionOur Results reveal coagulation indices, FDPs as GC biomarkers, reflecting abnormal coagulation/fibrinolysis, aiding disease progression, metastasis prediction, and helping clinicians assess thrombotic risk for early intervention and personalized treatment plans.
