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

Aurora kinases are conserved eukaryotic serine-threonine kinases, which serve as key regulators of mammalian mitosis. Several studies revealed a distinct correlation between inaccurate chromosome segregation, leading to chromosomal number instability, cancer progression and poor outcome. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation of Aurora kinases A (AURKA) and B (AURKB) with overall survival (OS) by quantifying gene expression analysis and evaluation of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in human colorectal cancer samples and assessing the associations with clinicopathological features. We evaluated intratumoral gene expression levels and SNPs of AURKA and -B from 41 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Patients with a high expression level of AURKB (>1.28) lived significantly shorter (n=11, median OS=6.4 months, 95% confidence interval (CI): 3.0-14.5 months) compared with patients with a low expression level (≤ 1.28) (n=30, median OS=18.4 months, 95% CI: 14.7-27.8 months, P=0.026, Wald's test). Patients harboring any G-allele in AURKB 885A>G showed a significantly decreased OS (P=0.05, log-rank test). We did not find any associations with clinicopathological variables and AURKA gene expression levels. Our results suggest a potential role for AURKB inhibition in patients with mCRC; thereby supporting its potential role as a target in mCRC.
