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

Chronic inflammation is closely linked to cancer. The risk of damage by colorectal cancer (CRC) may increase due to autoimmune disease and cryptogenic inflammation. Therefore, genetic factors implicated in the chronic irritation in inflammatory bowel disease such as NOD2/CARD15 may predispose to CRC. In this report, we shed the light on the possible contribution of the NOD2 3020insC variant to CRC risk in a series of 246 Tunisian subjects including 101 patients with CRC and 145 healthy controls. NOD2/CARD15 polymorphism was genotyped by sizing fluorescently labeled PCR products and automated sequencers. We analyzed the association between the molecular features at this gene in relation to tumor and patient characteristics and treatments. Through this qualitative analysis, we found that CRC patients with mutant allele of NOD2/CARD15 were suffering from Crohn's disease (CD) with canonic presentation. We also observed a positive association between 3020insC polymorphism and surgery and chemotherapy. We suppose that around 3% of colorectal cases which happen at an age older than 50 years are associated with the canonic form of CD along with the 3020insC mutation and that these patients are in need for chemotherapy.
