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

objectiveTo use a novel genomic approach to determine differential gene expression patterns in colon cancers of different metastatic potential. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States; despite aggressive treatment strategies, the 5-year survival rate for metastatic cancer has not changed in 50 years. The analysis of changes in gene expression patterns associated with metastasis may provide new treatment strategies.

methodsHuman colon cancer cells KM12C (derived from a Dukes B colon cancer), KML4A (a metastatic variant derived from KM12C), and KM20 (derived from a Dukes D colon cancer) were extracted for RNA. In addition, RNA was extracted from normal colon, primary cancer, and liver metastasis in a patient with metastatic colon cancer. Gene expression patterns for approximately 1,200 human genes were analyzed and compared by cDNA array techniques.

resultsOf the roughly 1,200 genes assessed in the KM cell lines, 9 genes were noted to have a more than threefold change in expression (either increased or decreased) in the more metastatic KML4A and KM20 cells compared with KM12C. Assessment of tissues from a patient with metastatic colon cancer demonstrated a more than threefold change in the expression of 14 genes in the primary cancer and liver metastasis compared with normal mucosa.

conclusionsUsing cDNA expression array technology, the authors identified genes with expression levels that are altered with metastasis. The ability to analyze and compare the expression patterns of multiple genes simultaneously provides a powerful technique to identify potential molecular targets for novel therapeutic strategies.
