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 previous cancer studies were difficult to reproduce since the tumor tissues were analyzed directly. But the tumor tissues were actually a mixture of different cancer cells. The transcriptome of single-cell was much robust than the transcriptome of a mixed tissue. The single-cell transcriptome had much smaller variance. In this study, we analyzed the single-cell transcriptome of 272 colorectal cancer (CRC) epithelial cells and 160 normal epithelial cells and identified 342 discriminative transcripts using advanced machine learning methods. The most discriminative transcripts were LGALS4, PHGR1, C15orf48, HEPACAM2, PERP, FABP1, FCGBP, MT1G, TSPAN1 and CKB. We further clustered the 342 transcripts into two categories. The upregulated transcripts in CRC epithelial cells were significantly enriched in Ribosome, Protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum, Antigen processing and presentation and p53 signaling pathway. The downregulated transcripts in CRC epithelial cells were significantly enriched in Mineral absorption, Aldosterone-regulated sodium reabsorption and Oxidative phosphorylation pathways. The biological analysis of the discriminative transcripts revealed the possible mechanism of colorectal cancer.
