Association Mining Identifies MAL2 as a Novel Tumor Suppressor in Colorectal Cancer.
Article in OncoTargets and therapy, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. However, the driver genes that promote CRC metastasis remain poorly understood. Association mining mines and extracts the repeated correlations and relevance in a dataset to predict the appearance of other data items according to the appearance of one item. Methods: Here, the Apriori algorithm was used to find the frequent mutational gene sets (FMGSs) and hidden association rules (ARs) within these FMGSs from 383 CRCs with whole exome sequencing datasets. The weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) was used to identify the hub genes in CRC. CCK8, colony formation, cell migration and invasion assays were adopted to detect the roles of hub genes in CRC. Results: Intriguingly, we found that Conclusion: Our results highlighted that MAL2 acts as a tumor suppressor in CRC and could serve as a potential therapeutic target.
