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

objectiveThe clinical profile of colorectal cancers (CRC) in India is different from that described in western countries. Microsatellite instability and APC mutation explain the molecular biology of up to 50% of colorectal cancers. Global genome hypermethylation may be the cause in at least 20% of cases. Few studies from India have examined the epigenetic profile of colorectal cancers. This study was designed to study aberrant promoter hypermethylation of two select tumour suppressor genes (

methodsA total of 41 samples including controls were collected from colorectal cancer patients. DNA was isolated from tumour tissue, and methylation-specific PCR was performed for the 2 genes.
