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) presents a significant global health challenge with a poor prognosis due to late detection. This study combines single-cell RNA sequencing and bulk transcriptomics to identify senescence-related gastric cancer genes (SGCGs) as diagnostic biomarkers for GC. Using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and machine learning-based feature selection, we identified 20 core SAGs enriched in mitochondrial and cell cycle pathways. An RF-XGBoost ensemble model achieved high predictive accuracy (ROC = 0.841), with PNPT1 emerging as a key driver through SHAP analysis. Experimental validation confirmed overexpression of PNPT1 in GC cells, with its expression correlating with age-related progression. A web-based Shiny app was developed to support clinical risk stratification. These findings highlight the importance of SGCGs in GC development and offer a translational tool for early detection and personalized treatment.
