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

Obesity contributes to the incidence of various tumors, including colon cancer. However, the impact of obesity on patients' survival and related mechanisms remains unclear. Multi-omics data of 227 cases of colon cancer patients combined with clinical characteristics data were acquired from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. We confirmed obesity as an independent prognostic factor for improved overall survival of colon cancer patients. We demonstrated that hypoxia pathways were repressed in obese patients by regulating miR-210. Immune checkpoints PD-1 and LAG3 were also downregulated in obese patients, which indicated enhanced immune surveillance. The frequency of PIK3CA and KRAS mutations was decreased in obese patients. The sites and types of TP53 mutation were alternated in obesity patients. In conclusion, our research demonstrated the potential mechanisms of prolonged survival in colon cancer patients combined with obesity, which may provide potential value for improving the prognosis of colon cancer.
