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

Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is one of the most common cancers, and is associated with a poor clinical outcome. The key genes and potential prognostic markers in colorectal carcinoma remain to be identified and explored for clinical application. DNA expression/methylation profiles were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to identify differentially expressed/methylated genes (DEGs and DEMs). A total of 255 genes and 372 genes were identified as being up-regulated and down-regulated, respectively, in GSE113513, GSE81558, and GSE89076. There were a total of 3350 hypermethylated genes and 443 hypomethylated genes identified in GSE48684. Twenty genes were found to be hypermethylated as well as down-regulated, and a functional enrichment analysis revealed that these genes were mainly involved in cancer-related pathways. Among these 20 genes, GPM6A, HAND2 and C2orf40 were related to poor outcomes in cancer patients based on a
