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

Background: Fluorouracil (FU)-based chemotherapy regimens are indispensable in the comprehensive treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the heterogeneity of treated individuals and the severe adverse effects of chemotherapy results in limited overall benefit. Methods: Firstly, Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) identified modules tightly associated with chemotherapy response. Then, the in-house cohort and prognostic cohorts from TCGA and GEO were subjected to Cox proportional hazards model and survival analysis to ascertain the predictable function of SCG2 on the prognosis of CRC patients. Finally, we performed Results: We identified red and green as the modules most associated with chemotherapy response, in which SCG2 was considered a risky factor with higher expression predicting poorer prognosis. SCG2 expression in the APC non-mutation group was remarkably higher than in the mutation group. The mutation frequencies of amplified genes differed significantly between different SCG2 expression subgroups. Besides, CRC cell lines with SCG2 knockdown have reduced invasive, proliferative, and proliferative capacity. We discovered that the SCG2 high expression subgroup was the immune hot type and considered more suitable for immunotherapy. Conclusion: This study demonstrates the clinical significance and biological characteristics of SCG2, which could serve as a promising biomarker to identify patients who may benefit from chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
