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 prognosis for patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) remains worse than expected due to metastasis, recurrence, and resistance to chemotherapy. Colorectal cancer stem cells (CRCSCs) play a vital role in tumor metastasis, recurrence, and chemotherapy resistance. However, there are currently no prognostic markers based on CRCSCs-related genes available for clinical use. In this study, single-cell transcriptome sequencing was employed to distinguish cancer stem cells (CSCs) in the CRC microenvironment and analyze their properties at the single-cell level. Subsequently, data from TCGA and GEO databases were utilized to develop a prognostic risk model for CRCSCs-related genes and validate its diagnostic performance. Additionally, functional enrichment, immune response, and chemotherapeutic drug sensitivity of the relevant genes in the risk model were investigated. Lastly, the key gene RPS17 in the risk model was identified as a potential prognostic marker and therapeutic target for further comprehensive studies. Our findings provide new insights into the prognostic treatment of CRC and offer novel perspectives for a systematic and comprehensive understanding of CRC development.
