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

We aimed to investigate the role of serum levels of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). Serum levels of n-3 and n-6 PUFA in 69 healthy control (Ctrl), 62 benign colorectal polys (CRP) and 100 CRC patients were detected by gas chromatograph. The adjusted odds ratio (OR) by quartiles of n-3 and n-6 PUFA were analyzed. During the process of Ctrl to CRP, total n-3 PUFA (OR=0.159, P<0.001), total n-6 PUFA (OR=0.190, P<0.001), C20:5 n-3 (OR=0.263, P=0.030), C22:6 n-3 (OR=0.125, P<0.001), and C18:2 n-6 (OR=0.299, P=0.025) were inversely associated with CRP risk. The ratio of total n-6 PUFA and total n-3 PUFA (OR=4.667, P=0.002), and the ratio of C20:4 n-6 and (C20:5 n-3+C22:6 n-3) (OR=6.000, P<0.001) were positively associated with CRP risk. During the process of CRP to CRC, total n-3 PUFA (OR=4.059, P=0.007), total n-6 PUFA (OR=8.146, P<0.001), C22:6 n-3 (OR=3.789, P=0.048), and C18:2 n-6 (OR=3.667, P=0.045) were positively associated with CRC risk. The ratio of C20:4 n-6 and (C20:5 n-3+C22:6 n-3) (OR=0.588, P=0.001) was inversely associated with CRC. In conclusion, our results found that the total n-3 PUFA, C22:6 n-3, the total n-6 PUFA, C18:2 n-6, and the ratio of C20:4 n-6 and (C20:5 n-3 +C22:6 n-3) played controversy role in the process of CRP and the process of CRC, and may provide nutritional intervention suggestions for the clinical practice.
