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

Mismatch repair (MMR) genes play an important role in the occurrence and development of sporadic colorectal cancer; however, the effect of MMR genes on clinicopathological features and prognosis remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to observe the clinical significance of MMR gene expression in sporadic colorectal cancer. Clinicopathological data and postoperative samples from 404 patients with sporadic colorectal cancer were obtained from the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University. The immunohistochemistry PV-9000 two-step method was performed to measure the protein expression of human mutL homolog 1 (hMLH1), human mutS homolog (hMSH) 2, human postmeiotic segregation increased 2 (hPSM2) and hMSH6. Differences in clinicopathological features, family history and survival time subsequent to surgery between groups with normal and aberrant MMR protein (MMRP) expression were compared. A total of 27.23% of all patients showed aberrant nuclear staining of MMRP. Among the patients with aberrant MMRP expression, a higher proportion of patients showed aberrant expression of more than one type of MMRP than aberrant expression of only one type of MMRP. Aberrant expression of hMLH1/hPSM2 was most commonly observed (29/404). In addition, aberrant MMRP expression in colorectal cancer was indicated predominantly in the right hemicolon. Histological type primarily showed mucinous adenocarcinoma. In addition, with increasing body mass index (BMI), the MMRP deficiency rate was also shown to increase gradually. There was a close association between MMRP expression deficiency and family history of cancer (P<0.05). For TNM stage III patients, the Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that the aberrant MMRP expression group had a three-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate of 66.67%, which was longer than the DFS rate of the normal group (55.41%), with no statistical difference (P>0.05). In conclusion, the immunohistochemistry PV-9000 two-step method can be used to measure MMRP expression in colorectal cancer. Aberrant MMRP expression is closely correlated with tumor location, histological type, BMI and tumor family history in sporadic colorectal cancer. Aberrant MMRP expression may have an effect on the prognosis of stage III patients.
