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

High expression of small proline-rich protein 1A (SPRR1A) has been shown to be associated with tumor prognosis; however, the association between SPRR1A expression and colon cancer prognosis remains unclear. The present study sought to evaluate the association between SPRR1A expression and the clinicopathological characteristics of colon cancer, and to examine its potential prognostic value. A total of 114 patients with colon cancer were included. SPRR1A expression was evaluated by immunohistochemical staining, and the association between SPRR1A expression and clinicopathological parameters was analyzed. The prognostic value of SPRR1A was analyzed by Cox regression analysis, the Oncomine database and the R2 platform. SPRR1A expression was significantly increased in cancerous tissues compared with that in adjacent non-cancerous tissues. SPPRR1A expression was significantly associated with lymph node invasion. High SPRR1A expression was significantly associated with worse overall and disease-free survival rate. Cox regression analysis revealed that T stage, pathological N stage and high SPRR1A expression remained independent predictors for overall survival rate. The Oncomine database analysis demonstrated that SPRR1A mRNA expression levels were significantly increased in colorectal cancer tissues compared with those in adjacent non-cancerous tissues, and high SPRR1A expression was associated with a significantly worse event- and relapse-free survival time in the R2 platform. The data indicate that SPRR1A may serve as a potential biomarker for the prognosis of colon cancer.
