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

We aimed to analyze the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-12 (IL-12p70) in colorectal cancer and evaluate the predictive significance of clinical efficacy of patients with colorectal cancer treated with anti-vascular therapy combined with chemotherapy. A retrospective study of 162 patients with colorectal cancer in Fujian Medical University Hospital was conducted from January 2019 to December 2020. A comparative analysis of the levels of IL-6, TNF-α and IL-12p70 between the two groups were studied. The relationship between the levels and the clinical characteristics of patients was observed; the factors affecting the levels of IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-12p70 in colorectal cancer patients were analyzed, and the predictive validity of the efficacy of anti-vascular therapy was evaluated. We observed that the individual expression levels of IL-6, TNF-α and IL-12p70 in the patients with colorectal cancer are related to lymph node metastasis, TNM staging, and degree of differentiation (P<0.05); however, they are irrelevant to the age, sex, and tumor location of patients with colorectal cancer (P>0.05). The multiple stepwise regression analysis indicates that lymph node metastasis and TNM staging are independent risk factors that correlate with IL-6 and IL-12p70 levels in colorectal cancer patients (P<0.01). The degree of differentiation was found to be an independent risk factor connected to TNF- α levels of patients with colorectal cancer. The change of IL-12p70 level could predict the validity of anti-vascular treatment for advanced colorectal cancer. When evaluated for combined expression, IL-6 and IL-12p70 in patients with colorectal cancer closely related to lymph node metastasis and TNM staging. IL-12p70 can be used as a predictor of anti-vascular therapy with colorectal cancer.
