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: The identification of cuproptosis offers novel insights into therapeutic strategies for neoplastic diseases. We explore whether cuproptosis and cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) could provide novel perspectives for the prognosis and treatment of gastric cancer patients. Methods: RNA sequencing data of gastric cancer patients were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas Program (TCGA), CRGs in gastric cancer were analyzed through bioinformatics methods. Subsequent experiments, including Western blotting (WB), quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), immunofluorescence, 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine assay, Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, Transwell assay, transmission electron microscopy, and xenograft tumor formation in nude mice, were conducted to further validate the biological role of the key CRG PDE3B in gastric cancer. Results: We confirmed CP, MAP2K2, and PDE3B as key genes for the prognostic classifier. Knockdown of PDE3B effectively suppressed the pro-tumorigenic functions in gastric cancer cell malignant proliferation and progression. Elesclomol-CuCl Conclusions: We characterized the landscape of CRG dysregulation in gastric cancer, verified that ES-Cu exhibited a significant cytotoxic effect on gastric cancer, and elucidated the pivotal role of PDE3B in gastric cancer.
