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

backgroundLong noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been suggested to be biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis of sporadic colorectal cancer.

aimsThis study aimed to characterize the expression profile of lncRNAs in DNA mismatch repair-proficient (pMMR) early-stage colon cancer (CC).

methodsThe microsatellite instability (MSI) status was examined by a multiplex PCR. The expression of lncRNA and mRNA was analyzed by microarrays. The differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs were determined by bioinformatic analyses and validated in 44 CC samples and 32 non-tumor colonic specimens by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).

resultsWe found that 16 out of 67 CC had MSI-L CC and 7 with MSI-H. In comparison with that in five non-tumor colonic samples, microarray indicated that 1492 lncRNAs and 1639 mRNAs were upregulated while 1804 lncRNAs and 1073 mRNAs downregulated in four pMMR early-stage CC. Bioinformatic analyses revealed that the differentially expressed mRNAs were involved in the process of cell division, angiogenesis, apoptotic, differentiation, the PI3K-Akt/p53/TNF pathways and others. The co-expression lncRNA and mRNA networks indicated five hot spots with significantly high co-expression degrees. Further quantitative RT-PCR revealed that 4 out of 6 lncRNAs were significantly upregulated while the other 2 lncRNAs were downregulated in the CC. Stratification analysis demonstrated that 5 out of 6 lncRNAs were significantly associated with TNM stage and/or distant metastasis in this population.

conclusionDifferentially expressed lncRNAs were significantly associated with clinical features of patients with pMMR CC and may participate in the tumorigenesis of pMMR CC.
