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

Objective: To investigate the effects of hypoxia-related genes in stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) and construct an excellent prognostic model. Methods: RNA expression data and clinical details were retrieved from the TCGA and GEO database dataset. scRNA-seq analysis was conducted on primary gastric cancer samples from GSE183904. Cellular hypoxia status was predicted using the CHPF software. WGCNA and GO-BP/KEGG enrichment of module genes analyses were performed to identify gene modules associated with hypoxia and biological pathway enrichment. A prognostic model was developed employing the LassoCox algorithm. GES-1, AGS, BGC823, and MGC803 cell lines were obtained for qRT-PCR analysis to identify the expression of model genes. Results: Single-cell atlas within STAD delineated that most of neoplastic cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and myeloid cells were hypoxic. Further analysis of neoplastic cell subpopulations identified four hypoxic subpopulations (H1-H4) and four non-hypoxic subpopulations (N1-N4), with H1 subpopulation had the highest degree of hypoxia. The prognostic model constructed by five H1-specific transcription factors EHF, EIF1AD, GLA, KEAPI, and MAGED2, was demonstrated efficacy in predicting overall survival (OS), with significantly worse OS in high-risk patients. qRT-PCR analysis determined the higher expression level of five H1-specific transcription factors in gastric cancer cell lines than that in normal gastric epithelial cell line. Conclusion: Hypoxia exerts a profound influence on STAD due to the overexpression of hypoxic cellular subpopulations-specific transcription factors EHF, EIF1AD, GLA, KEAPI, and MAGED2. The novel prognostic model developed by these hypoxia-associated genes presents a novel approach to risk stratification, exhibiting an excellent prognostic value for STAD patients.
