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

Growth/differentiation factors (GDFs, GDF1-3, GDF5-7, GDF9-11, and GDF15) belong to a subfamily of the transforming growth factor-β. GDFs play an important role in morphogenetic and developmental activities in many tissues. And many GDFs family numbers have been observed to be correlated with various types of tumors. However, the diverse expression patterns and prognostic values of ten GDFs in gastric cancer (GC) have yet to be analyzed. Herein we investigated the transcriptional and survival data of GDFs in patients with GC from the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis, The Cancer Genome Atlas, cBioPortal, Tumor Immune Estimation Resource, Tumor Immune Syngeneic Mouse, UALCAN, Human Protein Atlas Gene Expression Omnibus and The Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery databases. We found that multiple GDF family members are highly expressed in GC, which can prompt diagnosis and evaluate prognosis, and can be used as target points for GC immunotherapy.
