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 remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, and the identification of clinically relevant biomarkers is critical for improving patient outcomes. Oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor 1 (OLR1) has been implicated in tumor progression; however, its role in gastric cancer and the tumor microenvironment remains unclear. OLR1 expression and clinical significance were analyzed using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset and validated in gastric cancer cell lines. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments, together with in vitro and in vivo assays, were performed to investigate the biological functions and underlying mechanisms of OLR1 in gastric cancer progression. OLR1 was significantly upregulated in gastric cancer and associated with unfavorable prognosis. Functional analyses demonstrated that OLR1 promoted gastric cancer cell proliferation, migration, and tumor growth. Mechanistically, OLR1 activated NF-κB signaling and facilitated macrophage polarization toward the M2 phenotype, thereby contributing to a protumorigenic microenvironment. OLR1 promotes gastric cancer progression through activation of NF-κB signaling and modulation of macrophage polarization. These findings identify OLR1 as a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for gastric cancer.
