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

backgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) is reported with high morbidity and mortality. Currently, the sensitivity of diagnostic markers for colorectal cancer is low. Therefore, further exploration of new plasma diagnostic markers for early detection of colorectal cancer is of great value. We aimed to explore potential circRNAs in plasma as biomarkers for early diagnosis of CRC.

methodsWe employed the circRNA microarray to investigate dysregulated circRNAs in plasma samples of CRC patients, colorectal adenoma patients (CRA), and healthy controls. Through in-depth analysis, significantly differentially expressed circRNAs were screened as candidate targets.

resultsEight circRNAs (hsa_circ_104885, hsa_circ_100185, hsa_circ_103171, hsa_circ_001978, hsa_circ_105039, hsa_circ_103627, hsa_circ_101717, and hsa_circ_104192) were obtained as candidate circRNAs with upregulation in CRC comparing with both CRA and healthy control. Through detecting the plasma expression levels of eight candidate targets, we identified three circRNA (hsa_circ_001978, hsa_circ_105039, and hsa_circ_103627) with increased level which were consistent with the microarray results in training set. Further validation found the circRNA panel was consistent with training set. The ROC curve also revealed a high diagnostic ability of hsa_circ_001978, hsa_circ_105039, and hsa_circ_103627 in predicted the CRC from CRA patients (AUC = 0.966) as well as healthy controls (AUC = 0.969).

conclusionOur data suggest that hsa_circ_001978, hsa_circ_105039, and hsa_circ_103627 might be a CRC-specific biomarker for early diagnosis.
