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

Background: Digestive system malignancies, including esophageal carcinoma (ESCA), stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD), liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC), and colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), pose significant global health challenges. Identifying shared and distinct regulatory mechanisms across these cancers can lead to improved therapies. This study aims to construct and compare competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks across ESCA, STAD, LIHC, and COAD to identify RNA biomarkers that could serve as precision therapeutic targets to enhance clinical outcomes and advance personalized cancer care. Methods: Clinical and transcriptomic data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were analyzed to predict differentially expressed RNAs using the edgeR package. The ceRNA networks were constructed using the miRcode and ENCORI databases. Functional enrichment analysis and prognostic RNA screening were performed with ConsensusPathDB and univariate Cox regression analysis. Results: we identified 6, 88, 55, and 41 RNA biomarkers in ESCA, STAD, LIHC, and COAD, respectively. Network analysis revealed shared and specific elements, with shared nodes enriched in cell cycle and mitotic processes. Several biomarkers, including HMGB3 and RGS16 (ESCA), COL4A1 and COL6A3 (STAD), CDCA5 and CDCA8 (LIHC), and LIMK1 and OSBPL3 (COAD), were consistent with prior studies, while novel biomarkers, such as C3P1 (ESCA), P2RY6 (STAD), and N4BP2L1 and PPP1R3B (LIHC), were discovered. Based on RNA correlation analysis, 1, 23, and 2 potential ceRNA regulatory axes were identified in STAD (PVT1/miR-490-3p/HMGA2), LIHC (DLX6-AS1/miR-139-5p/TOP2A, etc.), and COAD (STRCP1 & LINC00488/miR-142-3p/GAB1), respectively. Conclusions: This study advances the understanding of ceRNA networks in digestive cancers, highlighting RNA biomarkers with potential as therapeutic targets for personalized treatment strategies.
