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

Diffuse gastric cancer (DGC) is characterized by high malignancy and metastasis rate, and poorly understood etiology, culminating in dismal patient outcomes. Here, through comprehensive analysis, we identified that glutathione peroxidase 2 (GPX2) plays a pivotal role in the progression of DGC by regulating lipid metabolism. This study demonstrates that GPX2 is markedly upregulated in DGC tissues, establishing its potential as an independent prognostic indicator. Functionally, GPX2 suppression disrupts lipid droplet formation and lipid homeostasis, leading to increased acylcarnitine levels that impair mitochondrial function. This disruption synergizes with endoplasmic reticulum stress to trigger apoptosis in gastric cancer cells. Notably, inhibiting GPX2 enhances the efficacy of cisplatin by sensitizing cancer cells to apoptosis. These insights identify GPX2 not only as a vital prognostic biomarker but also as a promising therapeutic target for overcoming cisplatin resistance in DGC, offering new avenues for treatment strategies.
