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.

Abstract

backgroundThe role of CXCL10 in progression and prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) has been studied for years, yet results remain controversial.

aimThis study aims to explore the relationship between CXCL10 and CRC progression and prognosis.

methodsWe evaluated plasma CXCL10 in CRC patients using ELISA. We also performed a meta-analysis of the associations between CXCL10 and overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), disease-specific survival (DSS), relapse-free survival (RFS), and clinicopathological features. Finally, correlations between CXCL10 and methylation or immune infiltration were performed using TCGA data.

resultsELISA analysis showed that CXCL10 was associated with age, red blood cells, blood platelets, and blood urea nitrogen. A separate analysis of 3,763 patients from 24 studies revealed that there were significant associations between low CXCL10 expression and OS (HR 1.25, 95% CI 1.01-1.53), DFS (HR 1.65, 95% CI 1.17-2.34), and RFS (HR 1.43, 95% CI 1.20-1.71) in CRC. Additionally, downregulated CXCL10 expression was significantly correlated with age [odds ratio (OR) 1.31, 95% CI 1.13-1.52], metastasis (OR 1.34, 95% CI 1.11-1.63), recurrence (OR 1.46, 95% CI 1.16-1.83), tumor location (OR 1.88, 95% CI 1.58-2.24), differentiation (OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.35-0.93), microsatellite instability (OR 0.23, 95% CI 0.15-0.35), BRAF mutation (OR 1.62, 95% CI 1.25-2.08), p53 mutation (OR 0.28, 95% CI 0.16-0.47), and CIMP (OR 0.27, 95% CI 0.17-0.43). Furthermore, significant associations were observed between CXCL10 and methylation and immune infiltration.

conclusionsThe study suggests that CXCL10 might be a potential target for the treatment of CRC.
