The Krüppel-like factor (KLF5) as a predictive biomarker in preoperative chemoradiation therapy for rectal cancer.
Article in Annals of surgical treatment and research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
purposePreoperative chemoradiation therapy (CRT) has become the standard treatment for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer, 15%-30% of patients still progress while being treated with CRT. The aim of this study was to identify as important biomarker of poor response and evaluate the mechanism associated with CRT resistance.
methodsThis study included 60 human colon tumour pre-irradiation specimens. Expressions of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), p53, Krüppel-like factor 5 (KLF5), C-ern, Ki67 were assessed and correlated with tumor regression grades and complete remission. We added
resultsPathologic complete remission (pCR) was achieved by 9 patients (18%). EGFR and KLF5 were significantly associated with pCR (P = 0.048, P = 0.023, respectfully). And multivariate analysis showed high KLF5 intensity was worse factor for pCR (P = 0.012).
conclusionKLF5 was significantly associated with the presence of KRAS mutations, and KLF5 was an independent poor response predictor of CRT in rectal cancer. Our study is pilot study and more research will be needed in the future.
