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

Correlation between RAS gene mutation and microsatellite instability (MSI) status in cancer tissues and clinicopathological parameters of patients with stage III colorectal cancer (CRC) were investigated. Tissues were collected from 180 patients diagnosed with stage III CRC in the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery of the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from 2012 to 2016. RAS gene mutations in paraffin sections were detected by PCR and Sanger sequencing. Expression of mismatch repair proteins MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 and PMS2 was detected by immunohistochemistry, and MSI status was determined based on the positive and negative expression combinations of the above proteins, and the correlation with clinicopathological parameters of CRC was analyzed.
