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

purposeTo gain insight into factors involved in tumor progression and metastasis, we examined the role of noncoding RNAs in the biologic characteristics of colorectal carcinoma, in paired samples of tumor together with normal mucosa from the same colorectal carcinoma patient. The tumor and healthy tissue samples were collected and stored under stringent conditions, thereby minimizing warm ischemic time. EXPERIMENTAL

designWe focused particularly on distinctions among high-stage tumors and tumors with known metastases, performing RNA-Seq analysis that quantifies transcript abundance and identifies novel transcripts.

resultsIn comparing 35 colorectal carcinomas, including 9 metastatic tumors (metastases to lymph nodes and lymphatic vessels), with their matched healthy control mucosa, we found a distinct signature of mitochondrial transfer RNAs (MT-tRNA) and small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNA) for metastatic and high-stage colorectal carcinoma. We also found the following: (i) MT-TF (phenylalanine) and snord12B expression correlated with a substantial number of miRNAs and mRNAs in 14 colorectal carcinomas examined; (ii) an miRNA signature of oxidative stress, hypoxia, and a shift to glycolytic metabolism in 14 colorectal carcinomas, regardless of grade and stage; and (iii) heterogeneous MT-tRNA/snoRNA fingerprints for 35 pairs.

conclusionsThese findings could potentially assist in more accurate and predictive staging of colorectal carcinoma, including identification of those colorectal carcinomas likely to metastasize.
