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

Aberrant DNA methylation is significantly associated with the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop a CpG-methylation-based nomogram for prognostic prediction in CRC. First, 378 CRC patients with methylation data from The Cancer Genome Atlas were randomly divided into training cohort (n = 249) and test cohort (n = 129). A multistep screening strategy was performed to identify six CpG sites that were significantly associated with overall survival in the training cohort. Then, Cox regression modelling was performed to construct a prognostic signature based on the candidate CpG sites. The six-CpG signature successfully separated patients into high-risk and low-risk groups in both training and test cohorts, and its performance was superior to that of previously published methylation markers (
