A spatial transcriptomic signature of 26 genes resolved at single-cell resolution characterizes high-risk gastric cancer precursors.
Article in NPJ precision oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
Gastric cancer precursors demonstrate highly-variable rates of progression toward neoplasia. Certain high-risk precursors, such as gastric intestinal metaplasia with advanced histologic features, may be at up to 30-fold increased risk for progression compared to lower-risk intestinal metaplasia. The biological differences between high- and low-risk lesions have been incompletely explored. In this study, we use several clinical cohorts to characterize the microenvironment of advanced gastric cancer precursors relative to low-risk lesions using bulk, spatial, and single-cell gene expression assays. We identified a 26-gene panel which is associated with advanced lesions, localizes to metaplastic glands on histopathology, and is expressed in aberrant mature and immature intestinal cells not normally present in the healthy stomach. This gene expression signature suggests an important role of the immature intestinal lineages in promoting carcinogenesis in the metaplastic microenvironment. These findings may help to inform future biomarker development and strategies of gastric cancer prevention.
