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

In this study, we collected genes related to energy metabolism, used gene expression data from public databases to classify molecular subtypes of colon cancer (COAD) based on the genes related to energy metabolism, and further evaluated the relationships between the molecular subtypes and prognosis and clinical characteristics. Differential expression analysis of the molecular subtypes yielded 1948 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), whose functions were closely related to the occurrence and development of cancer. Based on the DEGs, we constructed a 4-gene prognostic risk model and identified the high expression of FOXD4, ENPEP, HOXC6, and ALOX15B as a risk factor associated with a high risk of developing COAD. The 4-gene signature has strong robustness and a stable predictive performance in datasets from different platforms not only in patients with early COAD but also in all patients with colon cancer. The enriched pathways of the 4-gene signature in the high- and low-risk groups obtained by GSEA were significantly related to the occurrence and development of colon cancer. Moreover, the results of qPCR, immunohistochemistry staining and Western blot assay revealed that FOXD4, ENPEP, HOXC6, and ALOX15B are over expressed in CRC tissues and cells. These results suggesting that the signature could potentially be used as a prognostic marker for clinical diagnosis.
