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

backgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent malignancies worldwide. Cofilin is a key regulatory protein in the dynamics of actin filaments. Previous studies have shown cofilin 1's major role in cell migration process and its role in tumor cell migration and invasion. Therefore, cofilin 1 may have the potential as a novel diagnostic tumor marker in various cancers. In this study, differential expression of CFL1 in CRC tissues in comparison with adjacent non-tumor tissues was investigated and the diagnostic value of this protein in CRC was evaluated.

methodsSynthesized cDNA from extracted RNAs of 30 patients were subjected to qRT-PCR to quantify relative expression of cofilin 1. The relationship between cofilin 1 expression and clinicopathological features of patients were studied too.

resultsThe study showed significant upregulation of cofilin 1 in CRC tissue samples compared to adjacent non-tumor tissue samples (P<0.05). The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed higher area under the curve (0.85). There was no significant correlation between cofilin 1 expression levels and clinicopathological features of patients.

conclusionsAccording to the obtained results, cofilin 1 can serve as a candidate for clinically useful diagnostic biomarker or therapeutic target for CRC.
