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

Cross-strand chimeric RNAs (cscRNAs) represent an emerging class of noncanonical fusion transcripts arising from bidirectional transcription, yet their landscape and functional significance in gastric cancer remain unexplored. Here, we systematically investigated cscRNA expression patterns, prognostic relevance, and tumor immune microenvironment associations in gastric cancer through integrated computational and experimental approaches. Analysis of 372 TCGA-STAD samples revealed tumor-specific cscRNA enrichment that was independent of clinicopathological variables including tumor stage, histological grade, and lymph node metastasis status. Through a three-layer machine learning pipeline integrating univariate screening, multivariate feature selection, and bootstrap stability validation, we identified six cscRNA-enriched genomic regions that collectively formed a reproducible prognostic signature. Patients stratified by the risk score model showed significantly divergent survival outcomes (median survival: 18.9 vs. 69.0 months; univariate HR = 2.54,
