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

backgroundThe relapse and distant metastasis in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) patients with a poor prognosis. Autophagy has gained increasing attention recently.

methodsThis study utilized univariate Cox analysis from the TCGA database to obtain 10 prognostic autophagy-related genes (ARGs). GO and KEGG functional annotation analysis suggested that the ARGs were significantly enriched in tumor metabolic processes. We verified the autophagy-related genes screened by TCGA clinical data. Then, we compared the expression of SERPINA1 in primary and metastatic tumor cells in the GEO database, and finally verified the relationship between SERPINA1 protein expression and prognosis with the CPTAC database.

resultsThe ROC curves showed

conclusionThis new combined index showed the highest prognostic value for OS, RFS, and DMFS, and had the potential to become a practical biomarker for prognosis.
