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

backgroundHelicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection contributes significantly to gastric cancer (GC) progression. The intrinsic mechanisms of H. pylori-host interactions and their role in promoting GC progression need further investigation. In this study, we explored the potential role of fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) in mediating Cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA)-induced GC progression.

methodsThe effects of H. pylori infection on N

resultsInfection with cagA-positive H. pylori upregulated the expression of FTO, which was essential for CagA-mediated GC metastasis and significantly associated with a poor prognosis in GC patients. Mechanistically, CagA delivered by H. pylori enhanced FTO transcription via Jun proto-oncogene. Elevated FTO induced demethylation of m

conclusionOur study revealed that FTO mediates the "hit-and-run" mechanism of CagA-induced GC progression, which suggests that the therapeutic targeting of FTO could offer a promising approach to the prevention of CagA-induced cancer progression.
