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: Casein kappa (CSN3) is a milk protein-encoding gene, and its expression pattern and biological significance in gastric cancer (GC) remain unclear, this study aims to explore expression and function of CSN3 in GC. Methods: CSN3 expression was assessed in GC tissues and cell lines. Its biological effects were examined Results: CSN3 expression was elevated in GC and was positively associated with deeper tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis, advanced Tumor-Node-Metastasis (TNM) stage, and poorer prognosis. Knockdown of CSN3 inhibited GC cell proliferation and migration while promoting apoptosis. CSN3 overexpression promoted tumor growth Conclusions: CSN3 is upregulated in GC and is associated with malignant progression and poor prognosis. CSN3 may promote GC progression partly through modulation of NOD1/RIP2/NF-κB-related inflammatory signaling and remodeling of the tumor immune microenvironment. These findings suggest that CSN3 may serve as a potential biomarker in GC.
