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

Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Genetic markers involved in prognosis of colorectal cancer are still being elucidated. In this study, genetic alterations associated with prognosis of colorectal cancer were determined using arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction (AP-PCR) and analyzed quantitatively by real-time PCR. Seven different DNA sequences, mapped on chromosomes 13q31.1, 9q31.1, 1q24, 4q31.3, 10q21, 11q13.4, and 13q13.3, were identified. Among these sequences, seven cases (23%) harbored DNA amplification in chromosome 13q31.1, and 9 (29%) and 7 (23%) presented genetic alterations in chromosome 1q24 and 11q13.4, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that only DNA amplification in chromosome 13q31.1 was associated with poor survival among patients with colorectal cancer, with median survival time for chromosome 13q31.1 amplification versus no amplification of 64 versus 268 weeks (P = 0.001). This genetic alteration may have a prognostic role in colorectal cancer.
