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

Borealin/Dasra B, also called cell division cycle associated 8, is a member of the chromosomal passenger complex and plays a crucial role during mitosis and cell division. The expression of this gene has been investigated in several kinds of cancers, but its role in colorectal cancers (CRC) remains to be elucidated. In this study, our in silico analysis using the Oncomine database showed that Borealin was overexpressed in CRC tissues, which was further validated by immunohistochemistry in a cohort of 81 pairs of primary CRC and adjacent non-cancerous tissues. In CRC, Borealin expression was positively correlated with age (P = 0.0079), lymph node metastasis (P = 0.0086), and TNM stage (P = 0.0050). Significant difference in the overall survival time was seen between patients with high and low expression (P < 0.0001). Furthermore, high Borealin expression remained independently prognostic in multivariate analysis (HR 4.556, 95 % CI 1.964-10.567, P = 0.0004). Functional studies showed that suppression of Borealin expression with siRNA could significantly inhibit the growth and induce apoptosis in HCT-116 cells (P < 0.01). These results suggest that Borealin might act as an independent prognostic factor and a potential therapeutic target for patients with CRC.
