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

objectiveCuproptosis is a novel cell death dependent on mitochondrial respiration and regulated by copper. This study aimed to investigate the cuproptosis-related gene DLAT potential value in gastric cancer (GC).

methodsBioinformatics was used to analyze DLAT expression. DLAT expression in GC cell lines was detected using qRT-PCR. Cell proliferation ability was assessed using CCK8 and cell cycle assay. Cell migration and invasion were assessed using wound healing and transwell assay. A prognostic assessment was performed through survival and Cox regression analysis. DLAT protein expression was analyzed through HPA immunohistochemistry. Biological functions and processes were analyzed through GO and KEGG enrichment analysis and PPI. Correlation with immune cell infiltration and immune checkpoint genes was analyzed for DLAT.

resultsDLAT expression was upregulated in GC tissues and cells and correlated with shorter survival for patients. Age, gender, histological typing, lymph node metastasis, and distant metastasis were identified as independent prognostic factors affecting OS in GC. DLAT protein was upregulated in GC. The biological functions and pathways enriched in DLAT were mainly linked to mitochondrial respiration and the TCA cycle. The expression of DLAT was found to be positively correlated with the infiltration of Th and Th2 immune cells and only positively correlated with the expression of the BTN2A1 immune checkpoint gene.

conclusionDLAT has the potential to serve as a prognostic assessment factor in GC. The expression of DLAT was correlated with immune infiltration and tumor immune escape, providing a new target for immunotherapy of GC.
