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 adenocarcinoma (COAD) is one of the most common malignancies and angiogenesis is vital to the development of cancer. Here, we explored the roles of angiogenesis-related genes (ARGs) that affect the prognosis of COAD and constructed risk models to assess patient prognosis, immune characteristics, and treatment outcomes. Methods: We comprehensively characterized the transcriptional and genetic modifications of 48 ARGs in COAD and evaluated the expression patterns. We identified two ARG subgroups using the consensus clustering algorithm. Based on the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of two ARG subtypes, we calculated risk score, namely ARG_scores, and calssified COAD patients into different risk groups. To investigate the expression of ARG_score-related genes, qRT-PCR was performed. Subsequently, we mapped the nomogram to visually and accurately describe the value of the application of ARG_score. Finally, the correlation between ARG_score and clinical features, immune infiltration along with drug sensitivity were explored. Results: We identified two ARG related subgroups and there were great differences in overall survival (OS) and tumor microenvironment. Then, we created an ARG_score for predicting overall survival based on eight DEGs and confirmed its reliable predictive power in COAD patients, with higher ARG_score associated with worse prognosis. Furthermore, eight ARG_score-related genes expression was investigated by qRT-PCR. To make the ARG_score clinically feasible, we created a highly reliable nomogram. We also found a higher proportion of microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) and higher tumor mutational burden (TMB) in the high-risk group. In addition, ARG_score was notably correlated with cancer stem cell indices and drug sensitivity. Conclusion: This scoring model has potential clinical application value in the prognosis, immune microenvironment and therapeutic drug sensitivity of COAD, which provides new insights for personalized treatment.
