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

backgroundSET and MYND domain-containing protein 3 (SMYD3) is a histone methyltransferases and it promotes progression of many kinds of cancers including lung cancer, ovarian cancer and gastric cancer. In colorectal cancer (CRC), SMYD3 is proved to stimulate the proliferation of cancer cells, but the clinical significance of SMYD3 in CRC has not been elucidated.

methodsIn our study, we detected the expression of SMYD3 in CRC samples in TNM stage I-III with immunohistochemistry. The correlation between the expression of SMYD3 and the clinicopathological factors was analyzed with Chi-square test. The survival curve was displayed by Kaplan-Meier test and the statistical difference of subgroups was analyzed with log-rank test. Independent prognostic factors were identified by the Cox proportional hazards regression model.

resultsThe percentage of high SMYD3 expression and low expression accounts for 47.98% and 52.02% respectively. High expression of SMYD3 was significantly associated with advance T stage (P=0.006) and lower survival rates (P=0.010), and it could be identified as an independent prognostic factor indicating unfavorable prognosis of patients with CRC (P=0.032, HR=1.98, 95% CI=1.06-3.70).

conclusionsSMYD3 high-expression is a high risk for poorer prognosis of CRC in TNM stage I-III. Our findings suggested that detecting SMYD3 may help stratify patients by risk more preciously and help make the individual treatment strategy.
