Migrasome-Related Prognostic Genes in Gastric Cancer: A Transcriptomic and Immunotherapeutic Analysis.
Article in OncoTargets and therapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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: Gastric cancer (GC) remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide, characterized by complex pathogenesis and poor prognosis. Migrasomes, as newly discovered organelles, play crucial roles in tumor microenvironment modulation and immune regulation. However, their specific mechanisms in GC remain largely unknown. Methods: This study integrated GC transcriptomic data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases with 35 migrasome-related genes (MRGs) to identify differentially expressed genes through bioinformatics analysis. A prognostic model was constructed using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and Cox regression, and subsequent analyses were conducted through gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), immune infiltration assessment, and drug sensitivity evaluation. Key gene expressions were further verified in clinical samples via reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Results: Eight migrasome-related prognostic genes were identified (BMP1, CPQ, PDGFD, TSPAN5, TSPAN7, TGFB2, WNT11, and LEFTY1). The developed risk-scoring model demonstrated predictive performance in both training and validation cohorts (area under the curve (AUC) > 0.6). Functional analysis revealed significant enrichment of these genes in key pathways, particularly the TGF-β signaling pathway. Immune profiling showed distinct microenvironment features in high-risk groups, along with differential sensitivity to specific chemotherapeutic agents (eg, BMS-754807). Experimental validation confirmed significant upregulation of BMP1 (p < 0.05), LEFTY1 (p < 0.05), and TGFB2 (p < 0.01), along with downregulation of TSPAN5 in GC tissues (p < 0.001). Conclusion: This study reveals the prognostic value of eight genes related to migrators in GC. The established risk model provides novel molecular markers and potential therapeutic targets for personalized GC treatment. These findings offer critical insights for understanding GC pathogenesis and developing innovative treatment strategies.
