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 (GC) is one of the most common and deadly malignancies in the world. Abnormal activation of hedgehog pathway is closely related to tumor development and progression. However, potential therapeutic targets for GC based on the hedgehog pathway have not been clearly identified. In the present study, we combined single-cell sequencing data and spatial transcriptomics to deeply investigate the role of hedgehog pathway in GC. Based on a comprehensive scoring algorithm, we found that fibroblasts from GC tumor tissues were characterized by a highly enriched hedgehog pathway. By analyzing the development process of fibroblasts, we found that CCND1 plays an important role at the end stage of fibroblast development, which may be related to the formation of tumor-associated fibroblasts. Based on spatial transcriptome data, we deeply mined the role of CCND1 in fibroblasts. We found that CCND1-negative and -positive fibroblasts have distinct characteristics. Based on bulk transcriptome data, we verified that highly infiltrating CCND1 + fibroblasts are a risk factor for GC patients and can influence the immune and chemotherapeutic efficacy of GC patients. Our study provides unique insights into GC and hedgehog pathways and also new directions for cancer treatment strategies.
