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

objectiveTo explore the expression characteristics of ELK3 and its role in the occurrence, progression and prognosis of gastric cancer.

methodsWe analyzed the expression characteristics of ELK3 in gastric cancer based on E-MTAB-6693 dataset and explored the prognostic value of ELK3 using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis. Chip-Atlas, ChipBase, Genes Transcription Regulation Database, and hTFtarget were used for predicting the target genes of ELK3 and constructing the transcription regulation network. Functional enrichment analysis of the target genes was performed using R software. The proportions of infiltrating immune cells in gastric cancer were analyzed using Cibersort tool, and the Pearson coefficients between ELK3 and these cells were calculated. The expression profile of ELK3 was verified based on Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis and Human Protein Atlas databases. We also collected 5 pairs of gastric cancer and adjacent tissue samples and detected the expression of ELK3 at both the mRNA and protein levels using RT-PCR and Western blotting.

resultsIn public datasets and clinical samples, ELK3 was highly expressed in gastric cancer (

conclusionELK3 acts as an oncogene in gastric cancer, and its high expression may promote the occurrence, progression and immune escape of gastric cancer.
