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

Gastric cancer (GC) persists as a leading cause of global cancer morbidity and mortality, with its pathogenesis intricately linked to epigenetic dysregulation. Emerging research specifies the novelty of these mechanisms-including DNA methylation, histone modifications, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), and RNA modifications-in GC initiation, progression, and therapeutic resistance. This review systematically examines key epigenetic mechanisms in GC, dissect the therapeutic implications as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Key insights include (1) aberrant methylation of tumor suppressor genes (e.g., CDH1, RUNX3): in early carcinogenesis; (2) histone lactylation and acetylation modulating immune evasion (3) ncRNAs (e.g., miR-21, HOTAIR); as promising biomarkers; and (4) m6A RNA modification in chemotherapy resistance. We further discuss translational applications of epigenetic biomarkers in liquid biopsies and targeted therapies (e.g., DNMT/HDAC inhibitors). Integrating multi-omics and epigenetic editing technologies may advance precision medicine in GC.
