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

backgroundThe role of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) HOXA transcript at the distal tip (HOTTIP) as an oncogene in varieties of human cancer including colorectal cancer (CRC) has been extensively researched. The expression and function of lncRNAs could be affected by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which are associated with cancer susceptibility and prognosis. However, no investigation has focused on the association between HOTTIP SNPs and CRC. The aim of the present study was to explore the association of polymorphisms in the lncRNA HOTTIP gene with CRC risk and prognosis.

methodsA total of 1848 subjects were enrolled in our study, including 884 CRC cases and 964 controls. Genotyping for five HOTTIP tagSNPs (rs3807598, rs17501292, rs2067087, rs17427960, and rs78248039) was performed by applying Kompetitive allele specific PCR (KASP).

resultsThe results showed three SNPs (rs3807598, rs2067087, and rs17427960) were associated with enhanced CRC risk both in overall and stratified analysis. One polymorphism, rs17501292, could improve the overall survival (OS) of CRC patients in the tumor of ulcerative/invasive-type subgroup.

conclusionThese findings suggest HOTTIP SNPs could potentially be predictive biomarkers for CRC risk and prognosis. The present study provides clues for further exploration of novel lncRNA-based genetic biomarkers to predict CRC susceptibility as well as clinical outcome.
