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

purposeColorectal cancer is one of the most common malignancies. Substaging of the cancer is of importance not only to prognosis but also to treatment. Classification of substages based on DNA microarray technology is currently the most promising approach. We therefore investigated if gene expression microarrays could be used to classify colorectal tumors.

methodsWe used the Affymetrix oligonucleotide arrays to analyze the expression of more than 5,000 genes in samples from the sigmoid and upper rectum of the left colon. Five samples were from normal mucosa and five samples from each of the Dukes' stages A, B, C, and D. Expression data were filtered based on either covariance or a selection of the most significantly varying genes between tumor stages.

resultsA nearest neighbor classifier was used to classify normal, and Dukes' B and C samples with less than 20% error, whereas Dukes' A and D could not be classified correctly. A number of interesting gene clusters showed a discriminating difference between Dukes' B and C samples. These included mitochondrial genes, stromal remodeling genes, and genes related to cell adhesion.

conclusionMolecular classification based on gene expression of one of the most common malignancies, colorectal cancer, now seems to be within reach. The data indicates that it is possible at least to classify Dukes' B and C colorectal tumors with microarrays.
