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

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) poses a significant threat to human health. Despite considerable advancements in immunotherapy for GC, the effectiveness of current immunotherapeutic targets remains constrained by the heterogeneity of the tumor microenvironment and mechanisms of immune evasion. Consequently, the identification of novel immunotherapy targets has emerged as a critical area of research. This study investigates the potential of Pygo2 as a target for immunotherapy in GC. Methods: The expression and cell localization of Pygo2 in GC tissues were characterized by single cell sequencing, flow cytometry and mIHC. The relationship among Pygo2 expression and prognosis, immune microenvironment and immunotherapy effect was studied in 282 gastric cancer patients. Results: The findings indicate a significant upregulation of Pygo2 expression in GC tissues, particularly within tumor cells and T cells. Pygo2 expression in T cells is not only correlated with the advanced T stage and N stage but also inversely associated with patient survival. Additionally, overexpression of T cell Pygo2 resulted in a significant increase in TCF7, which suggested Pygo2 Conclusion: Tumor-infiltrating Pygo2
