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 C-X-C motif (CXC) chemokines are a family of chemotactic molecules that have been identified as potential prognostic markers and prospective therapeutic targets for many kinds of cancer types. Increasing evidence shows that CXC chemokines are associated with the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC); however, the correlations of CXC chemokines with prognostic and immune infiltrates in CRC remain to be clarified. In this study, we analyzed the mRNA expression level, prognostic data and immune infiltrates of CXC chemokines in CRC patients from the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis, Oncomine, cBioPortal and databases using GeneMANIA, STRING, DAVID 6.8, and TIMER. Our results showed that CXCL1/2/3/4/5/8/9/10/11/13/14/16 were significantly overexpressed in CRC tissues. Furthermore, expression of CXCL1/2/3/9/10/11 was associated with tumor stage in CRC. A significant association was also identified between the co-expression of CXCL16 with EGFR, KRAS and NRAS. In addition, the survival analysis suggested that high CXCL2/3/8/9/10/11/14 expression is correlated with clinical outcomes of CRC patients. Moreover, a significant association was observed between the CXCL8/9/10/11 expression and immune infiltration in colonic and rectal adenocarcinoma. Overall, CXC chemokines are not only implicated as prognostic biomarkers for CRC patients, but may also influence the immune status of CRC tissues.
