The relationship between the expression of BEX4 and GC patient survival was assessed using a Kaplan-Meier plot and Log Rank test. Multivariate cox regression analysis was used to evaluate prognostic factor. The diagnostic value of BEX4 expression in GC tissue was determined through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to explore BEX-4 related signaling pathways in GC. Furthermore, the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) database and GSE62254 dataset were used for further validation.\nRESULTS: BEX4 was expressed at lower level in GC tissues than normal gastric tissues. The lower expression of BEX4 was also validated at protein level in HPA database. The area under the ROC curve for BEX4 expression in normal gastric tissue and GC was 0.791, which presented modest diagnostic value. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that patients in low BEX4 expression group had a worse prognosis than those with high BEX4 expression (P = .009). Multivariate analysis showed that BEX4 is an independent risk factor for overall survival both in TCGA and GSE62254 (P = .0142, .013, respectively). GSEA identified that the expression of BEX4 was related to DNA replication, RNA polymerase, cell cycle, and P53 signaling pathway.\nCONCLUSION: BEX4 is expressed at low levels in GC. BEX4 expression independently predicted poor OS for GC. It is a promising independent molecular predictor for the diagnosis and prognosis of GC.", "claims": [{"id": "claim-method", "statement": "Expression levels of BEX4 in 375 GC and 32 normal gastric tissues were compared using Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and the results revealed that BEX4 was lower expressed in GC compared to normal tissues (P < .001) (Figure. 2A).", "kind": "methodological", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:33217815", "locator": "sections[8] \"Association of BEX4 expression with clinical variables\" paragraph 2", "quote": "Expression levels of BEX4 in 375 GC and 32 normal gastric tissues were compared using Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and the results revealed that BEX4 was lower expressed in GC compared to normal tissues (P < .001) (Figure. 2A)."}], "state": "complete"}, {"id": "claim-data-access", "statement": "The datasets generated during and/or analyzed during the current study are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request.", "kind": "methodological", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:33217815", "locator": "sections[15] \"fn-group\" paragraph 1", "quote": "The datasets generated during and/or analyzed during the current study are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request."}], "state": "complete"}], "gaps": []}, "experiment": {"state": "partial", "objective": null, "steps": [{"id": "read_published_estimate", "order": 1, "name": "Read the published estimate from the source", "kind": "other", "state": "complete", "blocked_on": null, "description": "The claim, method and evidence span published with the source article.", "duration_hours": null, "parameters": {}, "inputs": ["source:pmid:33217815"], "outputs": ["the published estimate and its evidence"], "instruments": [], "reagents": []}, {"id": "obtain_source_data", "order": 2, "name": "Obtain the source data from the named repository", "kind": "data-preparation", "state": "complete", "blocked_on": null, "description": "The GEO series accession resolves and its sample accessions are listed.
