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

The peritoneum is the most common metastatic site of advanced gastric cancer and is associated with extremely poor prognosis. Endothelial-specific molecule 1 (ESM1) was found to be significantly associated with gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis (GCPM); however, the biological functions and molecular mechanisms of ESM1 in regulating GCPM remain unclear. Herein, we demonstrated that ESM1 expression was significantly upregulated in gastric cancer tissues and positively correlated with platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (CD31) levels. Moreover, clinical validation, in in vitro and in vivo experiments, confirmed that ESM1 promoted gastric cancer angiogenesis, eventually promoting gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis. Mechanistically, ESM1 promoted tumor angiogenesis by binding to c-Met on the vascular endothelial cell membrane. In addition, our results confirmed that ESM1 upregulated VEGFA, HIF1α, and MMP9 expression and induced angiogenesis by activating the MAPK/ERK pathway. In conclusion, our findings identified the role of ESM1 in gastric cancer angiogenesis and GCPM, thus providing insights into the diagnosis and treatment of advanced gastric cancer.
