A novel defined cuproptosis-related gene signature for predicting the prognosis of colon adenocarcinoma.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The prognosis of colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) needs to be improved. Cuproptosis is a recently discovered cell death caused by intracellular overload of copper ions. There have been no reports about the cuproptosis-related prognostic model in COAD. First, we screened 30 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from patients with COAD using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database was used as a validation set to establish a risk model of five cuproptosis-related genes (CKDN2A, SDHB, CCS, ULK1, and CMC1) by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression analysis. In both TCGA and GEO cohorts, we could see that overall survival of COAD patients of the low-risk group was longer. Combined with the clinical characteristics, the risk score was found to be an independent prognostic factor. Furthermore, single-sample Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (ssGSEA) showed that the levels of Th1 and Treg immune cells changed both in TCGA and GEO databases. Finally, clinical samples were used to verify the mRNA and protein levels of five risk-model genes. In conclusion, this model could predict the prognosis of COAD patients, and the mechanism may be related to the changes in immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME).
