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

purposeEarly diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) is critical to patient prognosis; however, there is lack of non-invasive biomarkers that are extremely sensitive and specific for early screening and diagnosis. Exosomes are a novel tool applied to the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Changes in plasma exosomal proteins have a certain relationship with the development of various diseases including tumors. Here, we aimed to find exosomal biomarkers for early diagnosis of CRC.

methodsExosomes obtained by ultracentrifugation from CRC patients and healthy donors were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), qNano and western blotting. Proteomic and functional enrichment analyses confirmed differences in the specific expression of exosomal proteins in plasma between CRC patients and healthy donors. Western blotting with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to verify the difference proteins. Statistical methods were used to analyze the relationship between protein levels and CRC.

resultsThe expression levels of serpin peptidase inhibitor clade A member 1 (SERPINA1) and fibrinogen (PLG) in CRC patients were significantly higher than those in healthy groups. Receptor operating characteristic (ROC) curves analysis was superior to CEA and CA19-9 for the diagnosis of colorectal cancer and early-stage colorectal cancer. The two were related to TNM staging and coagulation, and the difference was statistically significant.

conclusionThe results of this study have potential value in advancing the clinical diagnosis of colorectal cancer.
