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

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a key sensor of energy homeostasis and regulates cell metabolism, proliferation and chemotherapy/radiotherapy sensitivities. This study aimed to explore the relationship between the AMPK pathway-related single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and clinical outcomes in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). We analyzed a total of 884 patients with mCRC enrolled in three randomized clinical trials (TRIBE, MAVERICC and FIRE-3: where patients were treated with FOLFIRI, mFOLFOX6 or FOLFOXIRI combined with bevacizumab or cetuximab as the first-line chemotherapy). The association between AMPK pathway-related SNPs and clinical outcomes was analyzed across the six treatment cohorts, using a meta-analysis approach. Our meta-analysis showed that AMPK pathway had significant associations with progression-free survival (PFS; p < 0.001) and overall survival (OS; p < 0.001), but not with tumor response (TR; p = 0.220): PRKAA1 rs13361707 was significantly associated with favorable PFS (log HR = -0.219, SE = 0.073, p = 0.003), as well as PRKAA1 rs10074991 (log HR = -0.215, SE = 0.073, p = 0.003), and there were suggestive associations of PRKAG1 rs1138908 with unfavorable OS (log HR = 0.170, SE = 0.083, p = 0.041), and of UBE2O rs3803739 with unfavorable PFS (log HR = 0.137, SE = 0.068, p = 0.042) and OS (log HR = 0.210, SE = 0.077, p = 0.006), although these results were not significant after false discovery rate adjustment. AMPK pathway-related SNPs may be predictors for chemotherapy in mCRC. Upon validation, our findings would provide novel insight for selecting treatment strategies.
