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

backgroundAnoctamin 1 (ANO1) has been observed to be overexpressed in gastrointestinal and pulmonary epithelial cells, as well as in a number of cancers. Although Ano1 is involved in the prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC), its mechanism of action in metastatic CRC has not been fully elucidated.

methodsThe expression of Ano1 was assessed in samples obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Then, we used Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis, Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), Gene set variation analysis (GSVA), and Weighted Correlation Network Analysis (WGCNA) to determine the functions of Ano1. Additionally, random survival forest, Cox multivariate analysis, Kaplan Meier analysis, and ROC were used to determine the predictive value of Ano1 on clinical outcomes in CRC patients. Finally, HE staining, immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis and qRT-PCR were used to explore the expression of the Ano1 gene in CRC tissue.

resultsThe expression level of Ano1 in CRC was significantly elevated, and the prognosis was poor. The modules with a higher proportion of upregulated genes tended to be positively correlated with Ano1-high. KNG1, GNG4, F2, POSTN, THBS2, SPP1 and FGA were identified as hub proteins of the PPI network. The heatmap showed that the expression level of the Ano1-high group was significantly negatively correlated with immune infiltrate. The overexpression of the Ano1 gene in CRC tissue samples was also confirmed by HE staining, immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis and qRT-PCR.

conclusionHigh expression of Ano1 is closely related to a poor prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer. Ano1 may participate in the metastasis and progression, as well as the immune regulation of CRC. In summary, Ano1 can act as a potential prognostic biomarker and a novel target for CRC therapy.
