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

backgroundAs one of the most common cancers with high mortality in the world, we are still facing a huge challenge in the prevention and treatment of colon cancer. With the rapid development of high throughput technologies, new biomarkers identification for colon cancer has been confronted with the new opportunities and challenges.

methodsWe firstly constructed functional networks for each sample of colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) by using a sample-specific network (SSN) method which can construct individual-specific networks based on gene expression profiles of a single sample. The functional genes and interactions were identified from the functional networks, respectively.

resultsClassification and subtyping were used to test the function of the functional genes and interactions. The results of classification showed that the functional genes could be used as diagnostic biomarkers. The subtypes displayed different mechanisms, which were shown by the functional and pathway enrichment analysis for the representative genes of each subtype. Besides, subtype-specific molecular patterns were also detected, such as subtype-specific clinical and mutation features. Finally, 12 functional genes and 13 functional edges could serve as prognosis biomarkers since they were associated with the survival rate of COAD.

conclusionsIn conclusion, the functional genes and interactions in the constructed functional network could be used as new biomarkers for COAD.
