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

Epidemiological studies suggested that obesity increases the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). The genetic connection between CRC and obesity is multifactorial and inconclusive. In this study, we hypothesize that the study of shared comorbid diseases between CRC and obesity can offer unique insights into common genetic basis of these two diseases. We constructed a comorbidity network based on mining health data for millions of patients. We developed a novel approach and extracted the diseases that play critical roles in connecting obesity and CRC in the comorbidity network. Our approach was able to prioritize metabolic syndrome and diabetes, which are known to be associated with obesity and CRC through insulin resistance pathways. Interestingly, we found that osteoporosis was highly associated with the connection between obesity and CRC. Through gene expression meta-analysis, we identified novel genes shared among CRC, obesity and osteoporosis. Literature evidences support that these genes may contribute in explaining the genetic overlaps between obesity and CRC.
