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

Recently, immune checkpoint blockade treatment has made remarkable strides in combatting malignancies, including gastric cancer (GC). Nonetheless, the efficacy of immunotherapy in GC patients remains constrained, warranting further exploration of the underlying molecular mechanisms to improve therapeutic outcomes. Hypermethylated in cancer 1 (HIC1) is acknowledged as a transcriptional regulator crucial for multiple aspects of cell development, yet its role in antitumor immune responses remains incompletely understood. This investigation reveals a significant downregulation of HIC1 in gastric cancer, correlating with a less favorable prognosis. Overexpression of HIC1 promotes the initiation of cell pyroptosis. Mechanistically, gasdermin D (GSDMD), a pivotal executor of pyroptosis, is identified as a downstream target of HIC1 and activated by HIC1 at the transcriptional level. Subsequent cleavage of the GSDMD N-terminal region punctures the cell membrane, instigating pyroptosis and releasing inflammatory factors. Furthermore, HIC1 augments the infiltration of CD8
