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 association between the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling pathway with tumor progression and prognosis of colon cancer. A total of 62 patients with colon cancer were selected as the colon cancer group, and 40 patients with colon lesions were selected as the benign colon lesion group. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression levels of JAK-1 and STAT-3 proteins in colon tissues. The association of JAK-1 and STAT-3 proteins with the pathological parameters and prognosis of colon cancer were analyzed. The total positive rates of JAK-1 and STAT-3 proteins in lesions of patients in the colon cancer group were significantly higher compared with those in the benign colon lesion group (P<0.05). The positive expression of JAK-1 and STAT-3 proteins in patients with colon cancer were not significantly associated with sex, age, tumor differentiation degree and neurovascular invasion (P>0.05), but significantly associated with the clinical stage of colon cancer, tumor infiltration depth and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). The survival time of patients with colon cancer with positively-expressed JAK-1 and STAT-3 proteins was significantly shorter compared with that of patients with negatively-expressed JAK-1 and STAT-3 proteins (P<0.05). tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage, lymph node metastasis and the expression of JAK-1 and STAT-3 proteins in the tumor were associated with the prognosis of patients with colon cancer (P<0.05). TNM stage and the expression levels of JAK-1 and STAT-3 proteins were independent risk factors influencing the prognosis of colon cancer (P<0.05). The JAK/STAT signal may be used as a novel tumor marker and prognostic factor for the diagnosis, assessment and prognosis of colon cancer.
