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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common carcinomas and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. One of the obstacles in the successful treatment of CRC is a high rate of recurrence. We aimed to construct weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) to identify key modules and hub genes in association with recurrence in CRC patients. We firstly used the microarray data, GSE41258, to construct a co-expression network and identify gene modules. Furthermore, protein and protein interaction (PPI) network was also performed to screen hub genes. To validate the hub genes, an independent dataset GSE17536 was used for survival analyses. Additionally, another two databases were also performed to investigate the survival rates and expression levels of hub genes. Gene set enrichment analyses (GSEA) combined with gene ontology (GO) were performed to further explore function and mechanisms. In our study, the midnightblue module was identified to be significant, 15 hub genes were screened, four of which were identified as hub nodes in the PPI network. In the test dataset, we found higher expression of MYL9 and CNN1 were significantly associated with shorter survival time of CRC patients. GO analyses showed that MYL9 and CNN1 were enriched in "muscle system process" and "cytoskeletal protein binding". GSEA found the two hub genes were enriched in "pathways in cancer" and "calcium signaling pathway". In conclusion, our study demonstrated that MYL9 and CNN1 were hub genes associated with the recurrence of CRC, which may contribute to the improvement of recurrence-free survival time of CRC patients.
