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 tumors; one of the reasons for its poor prognosis is that GC cells can resist normal cell death process and therefore develop distant metastasis. Cuproptosis is a novel type of cell death and a limited number of studies have been conducted on the relationship between cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) in GC. The purpose of the present study was to establish a prognostic model of CRGs and provide directions for the diagnosis and treatment of GC. Transcriptome and clinical data of patients with GC were collected from The Cancer Genome Atlas and Gene Expression Omnibus datasets. Single sample gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and the randomized forest method were used to establish the prognostic model. Kaplan-Meier survival curve, receiver operating characteristics diagram and a nomogram were used to evaluate the reliability of the model. GSEA and gene set variation analysis (GSVA) were used to examine enrichment pathways between high and low risk groups. Finally, immunohistochemical analysis was used to examine ephrin 4 (EFNA4) expression in GC samples and determine the prognosis of patients with GC based on the expression pattern of EFNA4. A group of 7 predictive models (RTKN2, INO80B, EFNA4, ELF2, MUSTN, KRTAP4, and ARHGEF40) was established which were correlated with CRGs. This model can be used as an independent prognostic factor to predict the prognosis of patients with GC. GSEA and GSVA results indicated that high risk patients with GC were mainly associated with the enrichment of ANGIOGENESIS and TGF_BETA_SIGNALING pathways. Finally, EFNA4 expression in GC was significantly higher than that in normal tissues, and patients with GC and high EFNA4 expression exhibited improved prognosis. In conclusion, the prognosis model based on CRGs could be used as the basis for predicting the potential prognosis of patients with GC and provide new insights for the treatment of GC.
