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 incidence of colorectal cancer is high and on the rise. The genetic and protein expressions of RUNT-associated transcription factor 3 (RUNX3) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in colorectal cancer (CRC) and adjacent normal tissues were detected to preliminarily explore their correlation and clinical significance.

methodsCRC specimens excised during general surgery were selected for localization and quantitative analysis of protein and gene expression by SP (Streptavidin-peroxidase conjugated method) immunohistochemical staining, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blot. Combined with the patients' data, the relationship between the expression of the two genes and tumor characteristics was analyzed. Log-rank test was used to analyze the correlation between the two proteins and survival prognosis of CRC patients. The expression of RUNX3 in RKO and HCT-116 was knocked down, and the relative expression of HER2 in the two cell lines was detected.

resultsImmunohistochemical, RT-qPCR and Western blot results showed that the positive expression rate of RUNX3 in CRC was lower than in the normal group, and HER2 in CRC was higher than in the normal group. The positive expression of the two proteins correlated with the pT and pN stages of CRC. A significant negative correlation between the expression of the two genes in CRC. Follow-up results showed that the number of
