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

objectiveColorectal cancer is a prevalent disease with a poor prognosis and is known as a heterogeneous disease with many differences in clinical Symptoms and molecular profiles. The present study aimed to systematically evaluate the association of SNPs in miRNA binding sites of target genes that are involved in CRC angiogenesis, epithelial to mesenchymal transition, and cytoskeleton organization with tumorigenesis and metastasis of CRC.

methodsA case-control study was performed on 146 samples of CRC patients and 132 healthy samples. After that, the DNA of all samples was isolated by the salting-out method. Finally, the genotypes for EFNA1 SNP (rs12904) were identified by HRM (High-resolution melting analysis) method. In order to evaluate the results of genotyping, two samples from each genotype were sequenced using the sanger sequencing method.

resultThe frequency of AA genotype and the frequency of GG for rs12904 in satge4 and other stages are different from each other (P-value <0.0001) (P-value = 0.008). Also, the frequency of AA genotype in patients with different grades is different from each other (P-value = 0.035), while the frequency of AG   genotype and the frequency of GG   genotype is not significantly different in patients with different grades (P-value = 0.377) (P-value = 0.284).

conclusionResults of this study indicated that patients carrying the GA and GG genotypes reduced the risk of disease progression compared to the AA genotype. As a result, this polymorphism plays a key role in CRC pathogenesis and metastasis and could be used as a biomarker in molecular diagnosis and metastatic state prediction in the near future after further study of its signaling pathways and molecular mechanism.
