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: Advanced gastric cancer remains highly refractory to therapy, with limited immunotherapy efficacy due to tumor microenvironment heterogeneity. Primary cilia, microtubule-based organelles involved in tumor progression, remain insufficiently explored in gastric cancer. This study aimed to define primary cilia subtypes and establish prognostic signatures for personalized treatment strategies. Methods: Bulk transcriptomic data from over 1,500 gastric cancer samples were integrated to define distinct primary cilia subtypes. A primary ciliary phenotype-associated signature (PCS) was established using a multi-machine learning survival framework incorporating ten algorithms. The prognostic predictive value and immunotherapy response prediction capability of PCS were validated across multiple independent cohorts. Single-cell RNA sequencing analysis was performed to identify cellular populations associated with high-PCS phenotype. Causal weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was employed to identify driving factors, followed by functional validation through cell culture experiments and xenograft models. Results: Two distinct primary cilia subtypes were identified and validated across all cohorts, with C2 patients exhibiting significantly worse overall survival compared to C1 patients. PCS demonstrated robust predictive value for both prognosis and immunotherapy response, with superior accuracy compared to existing models across multiple validation cohorts. High-PCS patients showed reduced tumor purity, increased stromal cell infiltration, and poor response to immunotherapy. Single-cell analysis revealed that fibroblasts had the highest PCS scores and identified a novel secreted modular calcium-binding protein 2 ( Conclusions: PCS serves as a robust prognostic biomarker for gastric cancer patients.
