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

The present study investigated the expression and clinical significance of flavin-containing monooxygenase 5 (FMO5) in colorectal cancer (CRC). The expression of FMO5 was detected by immunohistochemistry in 208 colon cancer tissues and 8 normal colon tissues. Then, the correlations of FMO5 expression with several clinicopathological features were evaluated. FMO5 mRNA expression from The Cancer Genome Atlas dataset was assessed for further validation. In addition, the association of the expression of FMO5 with prognosis was further evaluated by Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox proportional hazards model. The FMO5 protein level in colon cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in normal colon tissues (P<0.001). Overexpression of FMO5 was associated with an advanced clinical stage of cancer (P=0.018) and lymph node metastasis (P=0.03). The TCGA dataset also demonstrated that FMO5 was upregulated in CRC with advanced clinical stage (P=0.047), lymph node metastasis (P=0.045) and distant metastasis (P=0.030). The Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that higher FMO5 mRNA indicated a shorter overall survival in patients with CRC compared with a low expression of FMO5 (P=0.029). Cox proportional hazards regression revealed that a high FMO5 mRNA level served as an independent prognostic factor for patients with CRC (hazard ratio, 2.865; 95% confidence interval, 1.116-7.355; P=0.029). A high expression of FMO5 may serve roles in colorectal carcinogenesis and distant metastasis. FMO5 may be an independent predictive factor for the prognosis of CRC.
