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

The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a crucial role in the occurrence and progression of gastric cancer. Yet, we still don't understand how immune and stromal components of TMEs are modulated. In this study, we applied the ESTIMATE algorithm to calculate the number of immune and stromal components in 410 STAD cases in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. COX regression analysis and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network construction were used to analyze differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Then, P-selectin (SELP) was identified as a predictor by cross-analysis of univariate COX and PPI. After verifying the clinical significance of SELP for study, we performed an immune infiltration analysis and identified 54 immunomodulators associated with SELP through public data. Immunomodulation associated with gastric cancer prognosis was then confirmed by LASSO regression, and the previous results were further validated with single-cell data. Finally, we verified that SELP can promote EMT on gastric cancer cells. In conclusion, we validated that SELP may affect the biological phenotype of gastric cancer with the immune microenvironment alteration of gastric cancer.
