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

Recent studies have shed light on the dysregulated nature of cell senescence in many cancers, with implications for tumor immunity and prognosis. However, it is still unclear what role cellular senescence plays in stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD). To address this gap, we investigated the impact of cellular senescence on gastric cancer and its potential prognostic and therapeutic significance. The mRNA expression patterns, gene mutations, and clinical information of STAD were obtained from the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) and gene expression omnibus (GEO). Differentially expressed senescence-related genes were identified between gastric cancer tissues and normal tissues, then the prognostic value and functional roles of these genes in immunotherapy were systematically investigated by bioinformatics approaches. To authenticate the dysregulated genes identified within our prognostic signature, we conducted real-time quantitative PCR. Moreover, we verified gene expression patterns in both normal and tumor samples and performed in vitro experiments to modulate gene expression, assessing its impact on cell proliferation and invasion. Leveraging least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis, we successfully established a prognostic signature based on cell senescence-related genes. This signature categorized patients into high and low-risk groups, with the high-risk group exhibiting decreased overall survival likelihood compared to the low-risk group. Notably, these groups demonstrated distinct tumor microenvironment features and immune cell infiltration. Furthermore, patients in the high-risk group exhibited poorer responses to treatment compared to those in the low-risk group. To facilitate clinical application, we developed a nomogram for STAD prognosis prediction. By employing this cell senescence-related signature, we could accurately predict prognosis in STAD and tailor individualized therapeutic strategies, including chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
