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

Past decades of the current millennium have witnessed an unprecedented rise in Early age Onset of Colo Rectal Cancer (EOCRC) cases in India as well as across the globe. Unfortunately, EOCRCs are diagnosed at a more advanced stage of cancer. Moreover, the aetiology of EOCRC is not fully explored and still remains obscure. This study is aimed towards the identification of genes and pathways implicated in the EOCRC. In the present study, we performed high throughput RNA sequencing of colorectal tumor tissues for four EOCRC (median age 43.5 years) samples with adjacent mucosa and performed subsequent bioinformatics analysis to identify novel deregulated pathways and genes. Our integrated analysis identifies 17 hub genes (INSR, TNS1, IL1RAP, CD22, FCRLA, CXCL3, HGF, MS4A1, CD79B, CXCR2, IL1A, PTPN11, IRS1, IL1B, MET, TCL1A, and IL1R1). Pathway analysis of identified genes revealed that they were involved in the MAPK signaling pathway, hematopoietic cell lineage, cytokine-cytokine receptor pathway and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. Survival and stage plot analysis identified four genes CXCL3, IL1B, MET and TNS1 genes (p = 0.015, 0.038, 0.049 and 0.011 respectively), significantly associated with overall survival. Further, differential expression of TNS1 and MET were confirmed on the validation cohort of the 5 EOCRCs (median age < 50 years and sporadic origin). This is the first approach to find early age onset biomarkers in Indian CRC patients. Among these TNS1 and MET are novel for EOCRC and may serve as potential biomarkers and novel therapeutic targets in future.
