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

Objective: To conduct a comprehensive analysis of the landscape of gastric cancer (GC)-targeted therapy clinical trials and identify potential therapeutic targets. Methods: A systematic search and analysis of the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) was performed to retrieve all GC clinical trials published up to June 30, 2022. Approved therapeutic targets for 11 common cancers were compiled and analyzed. The role of CSNK2A1 in GC was investigated using bioinformatics tools such as GEPIA, KMPLOT, SangerBox, STRING, ACLBI, and TIMER. Four gastric cancer cell lines (AGS, HGC, MGC, BGC) and one normal gastric mucosa cell line (GES-1) were utilized to assess the sensitivity to the CSNK2A1 inhibitor CX-4945. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was employed to quantify the cellular expression of CSNK2A1. Cellular apoptosis was evaluated using flow cytometry and Western blot analysis. Results: The failure rate of GC randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) was strikingly high, accounting for 74.29 % (26/35) of the trials. Among the 35 approved targets in 11 different cancers, 13 targets were rigorously evaluated and identified as potential therapeutic targets for GC. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that CSNK2A1 is closely associated with multiple biological characteristics in GC, and its increased expression correlated significantly with enhanced sensitivity to CX-4945 treatment. Flow cytometry and Western blot analysis consistently demonstrated concentration-dependent apoptosis induced by CX-4945 in GC cell lines. Conclusions: The high failure rate of GC clinical trials highlights the need for a more scientific and precise approach in target identification and clinical trial design. CSNK2A1 emerges as a promising therapeutic target for GC, and its expression level could potentially serve as a biomarker for predicting sensitivity to CX-4945 treatment. Further research is warranted to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms and validate the clinical significance of CSNK2A1 in GC therapy.
