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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is currently the most prevalent malignant cancer worldwide. However, there is a lack of efficient biomarkers for CRC screening. Accumulating evidence reveals that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) detectable in serum are associated with the genesis and development of various types of cancer. Therefore, we examined the diagnostic ability of lncRNAs in blood samples from patients with CRC by evaluating the levels of 17 CRC- or gastrointestinal cancer-related lncRNAs in serum samples from 71 CRC patients and 70 healthy individuals using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). We detected 13 lncRNAs in serum, three of which displayed significantly different levels between CRC patients and healthy controls. A three-lncRNA signature (LOC285194, RP11-462C24.1 and Nbla12061) identified via stepwise regression analysis showed potential as a diagnostic marker for CRC. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of this signature for distinguishing CRC patients from healthy individuals was 0.793 (95% CI: 0.709 to 0.861). The diagnostic ability of this marker was much higher than that of conventional blood biomarkers such as carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA199), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) and carbohydrate antigen 724 (CA724). Combining this novel marker with conventional biomarkers produced even greater diagnostic ability. Furthermore, the levels of the three lncRNAs decreased after the patients underwent surgical resection. The results of this study suggest an additional marker for CRC screening and provide new directions for further investigation.
