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

Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) was used to screen colorectal carcinomas for chromosomal aberrations that are associated with metastatic phenotype. In total, 63 tumor specimens from 40 patients were investigated, comprising 30 primary tumors, 22 systemic metastases (12 liver, 6 brain, and 4 abdominal wall metastases) and 11 lymph node tumors. Using statistical analysis and histograms to evaluate the chromosomal imbalances, overrepresentations were detected most frequently at 20q11.2-20q13.2, 7q11.1-7q12, 13q11.2-13q14, 16p12, 19p13, 9q34, and 19q13.1-19q13.2. Deletions were prominent at 18q12-18q23, 4q27-4q28, 4p14, 5q21, 1p21-1p22, 21q21, 6q16-6q21, 3p12, 8p22-8p23, 9p21, 11q22, and 14q13-14q21. Hematogenous metastases showed more alterations than lymph node tumors, particularly more deletions at 1p, 3, 4, 5q, 10q, 14, and 21q21 and gains at 1q, 7p, 12qter, 13, 16, and 22q. Comparing liver metastases with their corresponding primary tumors, particularly deletions at 2q, 5q, 8p, 9p, 10q, and 21q21 and gains at 1q, 11, 12qter, 17q12-q21, 19, and 22q were more often observed. The analysis suggested that the different pathways of tumor dissemination are reflected by a nonrandom accumulation of chromosomal alterations with specific changes being responsible for the different characteristics of the metastatic phenotype.
