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

aimTo examine Kruppel-like factor 6 (KLF6) mutations in nonpolypoid-type tumors and alterations of K-ras, p53, and B-raf in relation between mutation and morphologic type, particularly nonpolypoid-type colorectal carcinomas.

methodsFifty-five early nonpolypoid colorectal carcinomas were analyzed. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of KLF6 and p53 was determined by microsatellite assay. Mutations of KLF6, K-ras, and B-raf were examined by polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformation polymorphism followed by direct sequencing. In LOH-positive and/or mutation-positive tumors, multiple (4-7) samples in each tumor were microdissected and examined for genetic alterations. p53 expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry.

resultsLOH of KLF6 and p53 was found in 14 of 29 (48.3%) and 14 of 31 (45.2%) tumors, respectively. In 10 of the 14 (71.4%) KLF6 LOH-positive tumors and 9 of the 14 (64.3%) p53 LOH-positive tumors, LOH was found in all of the microdissected samples. In 1 of the 10 (10.0%) KLF6 LOH-positive tumors, a single missense mutation was identified. K-ras and B-raf mutations were found in 5 of 55 (9.1%) and 6 of 55 (10.9%) tumors, respectively. However, these mutations were detected only in subsets of microdissected tumor samples.

conclusionThese data suggest that KLF6 and p53 mutations are involved in the development of nonpolypoid colorectal carcinoma, whereas K-ras and B-raf mutations are not.
