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

This study proposes a novel non-invasive diagnostic approach utilizing transcriptomic profiling of liquid biopsy samples for the early detection of occult peritoneal metastases in locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC). By analyzing RNA expression patterns of cancer cells, this method identifies specific gene signatures associated with peritoneal spread, potentially offering a more sensitive and comprehensive diagnostic tool compared to conventional imaging techniques. A 4-mRNA panel (BUB1, SPC25, CT83, MMP3) integrated with clinical features was developed into a Risk Stratification Assessment (RSA) model, demonstrating superior predictive accuracy in multiple cohorts with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.836 in training and 0.882 in validation. This approach offers a promising alternative for early diagnosis, improving treatment decisions and clinical outcomes for gastric cancer patients, while enabling a shift from tissue-based testing to non-invasive blood-based diagnostics.
