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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the most widely spread cancers globally. Aberrant alternative polyadenylation (APA) plays a role in cancer onset and its progression. Consequently, this study focused on highlighting the role of APA events and signals in the prognosis of patients with CRC. The APA events, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), somatic mutations, copy number variants (CNVs), and clinical information of the CRC cohort were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and UCSC (University of California-Santa Cruz) Xena database. The whole set was sorted into two sets: a training set and a test set in a ratio of 7:3. 197 prognosis-related APA events were collected by performing univariate Cox regression signature in patients with CRC. Subsequently, a signature for APA events was established by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and multivariate Cox analysis. The risk scores were measured for individual patients on the basis of the signature and patients were sorted into two groups; the high-risk group and the low-risk group as per their median risk scores. Kaplan-Meier curves, principal component analysis (PCA), and time-dependent receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves revealed that the signature was able to predict patient prognosis effectively and further validation was provided in the test set and the whole set. The high-risk and low-risk groups displayed various distributions of mutations and CNVs. Tumor mutation burden (TMB) alone and in combination with the signature predicted the prognosis of CRC patients, but the gene frequencies of TMBs and CNVs did not change in the low- and high-risk groups. Moreover, immunotherapy and chemotherapy treatments showed different responses to PD-1 inhibitors and multiple chemotherapeutic agents in the low and high-risk groups based on the tumor immune dysfunction and exclusion (TIDE) and genomics of drugs sensitivity in cancer (GDSC) databases. This study may help in understanding the potential roles of APA in CRC, and the signature for prognosis-related APA events can work as a potential predictor for survival and treatment in patients with CRC.
