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

backgroundEarly screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) is important in clinical practice. However, the currently methods are inadequate because of high cost and low diagnostic value.

aimTo develop a new examination method based on the serum biomarker panel for the early detection of CRC.

methodsThree hundred and fifty cases of CRC, 300 cases of colorectal polyps and 360 cases of normal controls. Combined with the results of area under curve (AUC) and correlation analysis, the binary Logistic regression analysis of the remaining indexes which is in accordance with the requirements was carried out, and discriminant analysis, classification tree and artificial neural network analysis were used to analyze the remaining indexes at the same time.

resultsBy comparison of these methods, we obtained the ability to distinguish CRC from healthy control group, malignant disease group and benign disease group. Artificial neural network had the best diagnostic value when compared with binary logistic regression, discriminant analysis, and classification tree. The AUC of CRC and the control group was 0.992 (0.987, 0.997), sensitivity and specificity were 98.9% and 95.6%. The AUC of the malignant disease group and benign group was 0.996 (0.992, 0.999), sensitivity and specificity were 97.4% and 96.7%.

conclusionArtificial neural network diagnosis method can improve the sensitivity and specificity of the diagnosis of CRC, and a novel assistant diagnostic method was built for the early detection of CRC.
