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

Emerging evidence underscores the critical, yet frequently underrecognized, role of the nervous system in the development and progression of gastric cancer (GC), primarily mediated through complex neuro-tumoral interactions and modulation of immune responses. GC cells actively invade neural structures, inducing aberrant nerve growth, while, in parallel, neural components infiltrate the tumor microenvironment, collectively promoting tumor proliferation, dissemination, and resistance to therapy. These bidirectional processes are regulated by diverse neurotransmitter systems-including monoaminergic, cholinergic, amino acid-based, peptidergic, and purinergic pathways-which are aberrantly produced by both neurons and malignant cells. Beyond their canonical function in neural signaling, these neuromediators exert diverse effects on tumor biology, coordinating multiple facets of GC progression, including invasion, metastasis, and cellular expansion. This review synthesizes current advances and outlines future directions in elucidating the mechanistic contributions of neurotransmitters to GC pathophysiology.
