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

Despite the recent advances in the therapeutic modalities, colorectal cancer (CRC) remains to be one of the most common causes of cancer-related death. CRC arises through accumulation of multiple genetic and epigenetic alterations that transform normal colonic epithelium into adenocarcinomas. Among crucial roles of epigenetic alterations, gene silencing by aberrant DNA methylation of promoter regions is one of the most important epigenetic mechanisms. Recent comprehensive methylation analyses on genome-wide scale revealed that sporadic CRC can be classified into distinct epigenotypes. Each epigenotype cooperates with specific genetic alterations, suggesting that they represent different molecular carcinogenic pathways. Precursor lesions of CRC, such as conventional and serrated adenomas, already show similar methylation accumulation to CRC, and can therefore be classified into those epigenotypes of CRC. In addition, specific DNA methylation already occurs in the normal colonic mucosa, which might be utilized for prediction of the personal CRC risk. DNA methylation is suggested to occur at an earlier stage than carcinoma formation, and may predict the molecular basis for future development of CRC. Here, we review DNA methylation and CRC classification, and discuss the possible clinical usefulness of DNA methylation as biomarkers for the diagnosis, prediction of the prognosis and the response to therapy of CRC.
