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

aimTo evaluate the association of known copy number variations (CNVs) in ulcerative colitis (UC) progressing to colorectal cancer.

methodsMicrosatellite instability analysis using the National Cancer Institute's panel of markers, and CNV association studies using Agilent 2 × 105 k arrays were done in tissue samples from four patient groups with UC: those at low risk (LR) or high risk of developing colorectal cancer, those with premalignant dysplastic lesions, and those with colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC). DNA from tissue samples of these groups were independently hybridized on arrays and analyzed. The data obtained were further subjected to downstream bioinformatics enrichment analysis to examine the correlation with CAC progression.

resultsMicroarray analysis highlighted a progressive increase in the total number of CNVs [LR (n = 178) vs CAC (n = 958), 5.3-fold], gains and losses [LR (n = 37 and 141) vs CAC (n = 495 and 463), 13.4- and 3.3-fold, respectively], size [LR (964.2 kb) vs CAC (10540 kb), 10.9-fold] and the number of genes in such regions [LR (n = 119) vs CAC (n = 455), 3.8-fold]. Chromosome-wise analysis of CNVs also showed an increase in the number of CNVs across each chromosome. There were 38 genes common to all four groups in the study; 13 of these were common to cancer genes from the Genetic Disease Association dataset. The gene set enrichment analysis and ontology analysis highlighted many cancer-associated genes. All the samples in the different groups were microsatellite stable.

conclusionIncreasing numbers of CNVs are associated with the progression of UC to CAC, and warrant further detailed exploration.
