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: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies. Although CRC treatment has been significantly improved, patient survival remains low because most patients already have advanced disease at diagnosis. Early screening and diagnosis of tumors is critical; however, the current tissue biopsy and radiological evaluation methods have very limited effectiveness. Therefore, establishing new convenient and non-invasive biomarkers is urgently needed for timely detection, therapeutic assessment, and prognostic prediction. At present, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have attracted research attention owing to their potential oncological applications. Methods: The long ncRNA epidermal growth factor receptor antisense RNA 1 (EGFR-AS1) is overexpressed in multiple malignancies including CRC. The present study examined the circulating EGFR-AS1 level in CRC, and the results showed that EGFR-AS1 could be considered an indicator of tumor burden. Results: Elevated circulating EGFR-AS1 levels were detected in CRC cases (n=128) compared with control cases comprising endoscopy confirmed CRC-free individuals [n=64, median expression normalized to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), 1.578 Conclusions: These results highlight the potential of EGFR-AS1 as a diagnostic biomarker in CRC.
