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

backgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common type of gastrointestinal malignant tumour. Colorectal adenocarcinoma (COAD) - the most common type of CRC - is particularly dangerous. The role of the immune system in the development of tumour-associated inflammation and cancer has received increasing attention recently.

methodsIn the present study, we compiled the expression profiles of 262 patients with complete follow-up data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database as an experimental group and selected 65 samples from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset (of which 46 samples were with M0) as a verification group. First, we screened the immune T helper 17 (Th17) cells related to the prognosis of COAD. Subsequently, we identified Th17 cells-related hub genes by utilising Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selector Operation (LASSO) regression analysis. Six genes associated with the prognosis in patients with COAD were identified, including: KRT23, ULBP2, ASRGL1, SERPINA1, SCIN, and SLC28A2. We constructed a clinical prediction model and analysed its predictive power.

resultsThe identified hub genes are involved in developing many diseases and closely linked to digestive disorders. Our results suggested that the hub genes could influence the prognosis of COAD by regulating Th17 cells' infiltration.

conclusionsThese newly discovered hub genes contribute to clarifying the mechanisms of COAD development and metastasis. Given that they promote COAD development, they may become new therapeutic targets and biomarkers of COAD.
