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

The molecular categorization of colon cancer patients remains elusive. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), which investigates the dysregulated genes among tumor and normal samples, has revealed the pivotal role of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in colon cancer pathogenesis. In this study, we employed multi-clustering method for grouping data, resulting in the identification of two clusters characterized by varying prognostic outcomes. These two subgroups not only displayed disparities in overall survival (OS) but also manifested variations in clinical variables, genetic mutation, and gene expression profiles. Using the nearest template prediction (NTP) method, we were able to replicate the molecular classification effectively within the original dataset and validated it across multiple independent datasets, underscoring its robust repeatability. Furthermore, we constructed two prognostic signatures tailored to each of these subgroups. Our molecular classification, centered on EMT, hold promise in offering fresh insights into the therapy strategies and prognosis assessment for colon cancer.
