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

backgroundColorectal cancer as a mortal disease affected both sexes of all ethnic and racial human groups. Former studies have indicated some mutations in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in different human cancers. Complex I NADH has the most subunits encoded by mtDNA. For a better understanding of the mtDNA abnormality in colorectal cancer some genes of this complex is screened for existence of mutations.

methodsOne of the main regions of the mtDNA encoding protein was screened by PCR-RFLP followed by DNA sequencing. The obtained sequences were aligned with the revised Cambridge Reference Sequence (rCRS). Each alteration recorded as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), deletions or insertions.

resultsEight mutations were found in 15 samples out of 30 studied populations and no mutation detected in other 15 samples. Among these 15 mutated samples, 7 different mutations were found in 7 patients, that means one mutation per patient and the 8th mutation (T4216C) was common in the rest of 8 samples; in other words T4216C mutation in 27% of tested samples was identified (8 patients out of 30 patients). The existence of T4216C mutation was found to be significantly different (p ≤ 0.05) between tumoral patient's tissue and adjacent normal tissue.

conclusionsResults showed that a high frequency of somatic alterations of mtDNA occurs during the carcinogenesis and/or the progression of colorectal cancer. Based on the mtDNA mutation pattern observed in this study and other previously studies it is believed that looking for somatic mutations in mtDNA would be one of the diagnostic values in early detection of cancer.
