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 (CRC) is the third most common malignant disease in men and the second in women worldwide. CRC relapse occurs mostly in liver and lungs, decreasing the 5-year survival to 6 %. Metadherin (MTDH) is overexpressed in several types of cancer, has been implicated in proliferation, invasion, metastasis, angiogenesis, and chemoresistance, and is a factor of poor prognosis in CRC. In this work we addressed the prognostic significance of MTDH expression in CRC progression to the lungs. We found that MTDH gene was more frequently amplified (copy number >1.8) in patients with CRC and relapse to the lung, when compared to patients without lung metastases (17.4 vs 100 %; p < 0.001). We observed a correlation between MTDH gene copy number and MTDH expression by IHC (p = 0.0001). Next we also analyzed MTDH expression by IHC in samples from 85 patients diagnosed with CRC, stage II or III, M0, with at least 3 years of follow-up. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that lung relapse-free survival (HR 5.29, 95 % CI 1.90-14.77, p = 0.0004), liver relapse-free survival (HR 8.59, 95 % CI 0.99-74.18, p = 0.003), relapse-free survival (HR 4.85, 95 % CI 1.88-12.45, p = 0.0003) and overall survival (HR 3.75, 95 % CI 1.15-12.18, p = 0.018) were significantly lower in the group with high MTDH expression. Multivariate analysis showed that high MTDH expression was an independent factor for all outcomes. This study demonstrates that high MTDH expression is a biomarker of relapse in CRC, including lung-specific relapse. Determination of MTDH expression in primary CRC may be useful in the earlier detection of lung metastases in patients with high expression and increased risk.
