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

backgroundCyclophilin B (CypB) has been found overexpressed in various malignant tumors. To date, there are few studies on CypB in colon cancer. In this study, we aimed to analyze the CypB expression pattern and to further evaluate its clinical significance, especially its prognostic value for colon cancer.

methodsCypB expression was investigated in colon cancer tissue microarrays (TMA) by RNAscope in situ hybridization and immunohistochemical (IHC) staining. The correlation between CypB and clinicopathological characteristics was analyzed. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) RNA-seq dataset of colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) was further analyzed to validate our main findings. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) and Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes (STRING) analysis were performed to enrich CypB related biological pathways.

resultsWe found that CypB expression was highly upregulated in colon cancer tissues (P<0.05). Importantly, the overall survival (OS) time of patients with high CypB expression was significantly shorter than those with low CypB expression, and overexpressed CypB was identified as an independent prognostic indicator for poor survival (P=0.015). Subgroup analysis indicated that a high level of CypB was associated with a shorter OS time, especially for advanced cancer patients, such as later T stage, lymph node metastasis, larger tumor size (P<0.05). Analysis of TCGA RNA-seq dataset of COAD provided us with a larger clinical sample verification. Bioinformatics analysis and the following

conclusionsCypB overexpression predicts a poor prognosis and may activate metastatic pathways in colon cancer.
