Expression of Oncogenic Molecules in Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis.
Article in Digestion, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
introductionLong-term disease duration of ulcerative colitis (UC) is known to increase the risk of developing colorectal cancer in adults; however, this association has not been genetically analyzed in children with UC. Herein, we examined the expression of cancer-related genes in the colonic mucosa of pediatric UC patients and their risk of developing colorectal cancer.
methodsMicroarray analysis of cancer-related gene expression was conducted on rectal mucosa biopsy specimens randomly selected from pediatric cases, including 4 active-phase UC cases, 3 remission-phase UC cases, and 3 irritable bowel syndrome control cases. The subject pool was then expanded to 10 active-phase cases, 10 remission-phase cases, and 10 controls, which were analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and immunohistochemical staining.
resultsThe microarray results indicated significantly higher expression levels of cancer-related genes PIM2 and SPI1 in the active group than in the remission and control groups (p < 0.05). Real-time PCR confirmed that PIM2 and SPI1 expression levels were significantly higher, whereas TP53 and APC expression levels were significantly lower, in the active-phase group than in the remission and control groups (p < 0.05). Immunohistochemical staining for PIM2, SPI1, TP53, and APC proteins supported the real-time PCR results.
conclusionsExpression levels of previously unreported cancer-related genes in adult UC patients were significantly higher in pediatric UC patients than in controls. Inflammation of the gastrointestinal mucosa increased the expression levels of cancer-related genes even in childhood-onset UC cases, suggesting that chronic inflammation from childhood may increase the risk of colorectal cancer development.
