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

Introduction: Characterized by vast heterogeneity, gastric cancer (GC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths. A specific prognostic model is necessary for the improvement of clinical treatment strategies. Hypoxia is a common feature in the tumor microenvironment that promotes tumor progression. However, the current evaluation of the hypoxic tumor immune microenvironment in GC is still inadequate. Material and methods: With sequence data and single nucleotide variants data obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas-STAD dataset as well as hypoxia- and immune-related genes acquired from MsigDB and ImmPort, a hypoxia-immune-based gene signature of stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) was built by Cox regression analysis. The risk score could be used as an independent prognostic factor. Results: The receiver operating characteristic curve and survival curve showed the accuracy of the model. Pearson correlation analysis showed that DUSP1, one of the hypoxia- and immune-related feature genes, was positively correlated with immune cell scores and immune-related function scores. In addition, low-risk group peers were found to be in higher immune infiltration status and had a higher immunophenoscore as demonstrated by single-sample Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA), indicating a better response to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment among the low-risk group. q-PCR results showed that DUSP1, IGFBP1, CGB5, GPC3 and EGF were significantly highly expressed in STAD cells, while FAM3D and FGF8 were significantly down-regulated. Conclusions: Overall, our study not only paves the way for future studies focusing on hypoxia and the immune microenvironment but also improves STAD patients' prognosis and their response to immunotherapy.
