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: FBXW7 is recognized as a critical tumor suppressor gene and a component of the ubiquitin-proteasome system, mediating the degradation of multiple oncogenic proteins, including c-MYC, Cyclin E, c-Jun, Notch, p53. Around 16% of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients carried FBXW7 somatic mutations, while a comprehensive characterization of FBXW7 somatic mutations in CRC is still lacking. Methods: Colorectal cancer patients with tumor samples and matching white blood cell samples in the past five years were screened and DNA sequenced. DNA sequencing data of MSK MetTropism cohort and RNA sequencing data of TCGA COAD cohort were analyzed. Results: We discovered that the FBXW7 mutations were associated with higher tumor mutation burden (TMB), higher microsatellite instability (MSI) score, and lower chromosomal instability (CIN) score. Patients with FBXW7 mutations showed better overall survival (HR: 0.67; 95%CI: 0.55-0.80, P < 0.001). However, patients with FBXW7 R465C mutation displayed worse overall survival in multi-variate cox analysis when compared with patients carrying other FBXW7 mutations (HR: 1.6; 95%CI: 1.13-3.1, P = 0.015), and with all other patients (HR: 1.87; 95%CI: 0.99-2.5, P = 0.053). Moreover, in MSI patients, the FBXW7 mutated group showed higher M1 macrophage, CD8+ T cell, and regulatory T cell (Tregs) infiltration rates, and significant enrichment of multiple immune-related gene sets, including interferon-gamma response, interferon-alpha response, IL6 JAK STAT3 signaling, p53 pathway. Conclusion: This analysis comprehensively identified FBXW7 alterations in colorectal cancer patients and uncovered the molecular, clinicopathological, and immune-related patterns of FBXW7-altered CRC patients.
