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

backgroundColon adenocarcinoma (COAD) is the most common colon cancer exhibiting high mortality. Due to their association with cancer progression, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are now being used as prognostic biomarkers. In the present study, we used relevant clinical information and expression profiles of lncRNAs originating from The Cancer Genome Atlas database, aiming to construct a prognostic lncRNA signature to estimate the prognosis of patients.

methodsThe samples were randomly spilt into training and validation cohorts. In the training cohort, prognosis-related lncRNAs were selected from differentially expressed lncRNAs using the univariate Cox analysis. Furthermore, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression and multivariate Cox analysis were employed for identifying prognostic lncRNAs. The prognostic signature was constructed by these lncRNAs.

resultsThe prognostic model was able to calculate each COAD patient's risk score and split the patients into groups of low and high risks. Compared to the low-risk group, the high-risk group had significant poor prognosis. Next, the prognostic signature was validated in the validation, as well as all cohorts. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and c-index were determined in all cohorts. Moreover, these prognostic lncRNA signatures were combined with clinicopathological risk factors to construct a nomogram for predicting the prognosis of COAD in the clinic. Finally, seven lncRNAs (CTC-273B12.10, AC009404.2, AC073283.7, RP11-167H9.4, AC007879.7, RP4-816N1.7, and RP11-400N13.2) were identified and validated by different cohorts. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis of the mRNAs co-expressed with the seven prognostic lncRNAs suggested four significantly upregulated pathways, which were AGE-RAGE, focal adhesion, ECM-receptor interaction, and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways.

conclusionThus, our study verified that the seven lncRNAs mentioned can be used as biomarkers to predict the prognosis of COAD patients and design personalized treatments.
