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

The molecular classification of patients with colon cancer is inconclusive. The gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of dysregulated genes among normal and tumor tissues indicated that the cell cycle played a crucial role in colon cancer. We performed univariate Cox regression analysis to find out the prognostic-related genes, and these genes were then intersected with cell cycle-associated genes and were further recognized as prognostic and cell cycle-associated genes. Unsupervised non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) clustering was performed based on cell cycle-associated genes. Two subgroups were identified with different overall survival, clinical features, cell cycle enrichment profile, and mutation profile. Through nearest template prediction (NTP), the molecular classification could be effectively repeated in the original data set and validated in several independent data sets indicating that the classification is highly repeatable. Furthermore, we constructed two prognostic signatures in two subgroups, respectively. Our molecular classification based on cell cycle may provide novel insight into the treatment and the prognosis of colon cancer.
