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

Incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC), defined by a diagnosed age under 50 years, is increasing, but its heterogeneous etiologies that differ from general CRC remain undetermined. We initially characterize the genome, epigenome, transcriptome, and proteome of tumors from 79 patients in a Chinese CRC cohort. Data for an additional 126 EOCRC subjects are obtained from the International Cancer Genome Consortium Chinese cohort and The Cancer Genome Atlas European cohort. We observe that early-onset tumors have a high tumor mutation burden; increased DNA repair features by mutational signature 3 and multi-layer pathway enrichments; strong perturbations at effects of DNA methylation and somatic copy-number alteration on gene expression; and upregulated immune infiltration as hot tumors underlying immunophenotypes. Notably, LMTK3 exhibits ancestral mutation disparity, potentially being a functional modulator and biomarker that drives molecular alterations in EOCRC development and immunotherapies. This integrative omics study provides valuable knowledge for precision oncology of CRC.
