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

FBXW7 is a tumour suppressor gene that functions as E3-ubiquitin-ligase, targeting numerous oncoproteins for degradation, i.e., Cyclin-E, c-Myc, and Notch. FBXW7 performs a pivotal role in regulating cell cycle progression. FBXW7 mutation is frequently implicated in various cancers. Methodology: A systematic review and meta-analysis done on several studies using "Preferred Reporting Items for Systemmatic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA)" criteria and registered with PROSPERO (registration-number-CRD42023388845). The preliminary search comprises 1182 articles; however, 58 studies were subsequently chosen after eliminating non-eligible studies. To explore the prevalence of FBXW7 mutation among colorectal cancer patients, data were analysed using "OpenMeta Analyst and comprehensive meta-analysis-3.0 (CMA-3.0)" software. Results: This meta-analysis involves 13,974 respondents; most were males 7825/13,974, (56.0 %). Overall prevalence of FBXW7 mutations was 10.3 %, (95%CI: 8.6-12.4), I2 = 90.5 %, (P < 0.001). The occurrence of FBXW7 mutations was highest in Russia [19.0 %, (95%CI: 9.8-33.7)] and Taiwan [18.8 %, (95%CI: 8.7-35.9)], P-values< 0.05 while the least prevalence was reported in Netherland (4 %) and Italy (5 %), both P-values< 0.001. Overall prevalence of FBXW7 abberation was greatest amongst male gender: "53.9 %, (95%CI: 8.3-62.0 %)", Tumour location (colon): 59.8 %, (95%CI: 53.9-65), tumour site (left): 61.6 %, (95%CI: 53.8-68.9), Tumour-grade (Moderate): 65.9 %, (95%CI: 54.9-75.4 %), and Tumour late-stage: 67.9 %, (95%CI: 49.7-84.3 %), all P-values< 0.001. When stratified according to study-period, an increasing trend was noted from 2018 till present with the highest mutation rate recorded in 2022 (15.3 %). Conclusion: Overall prevalence of FBXW7 mutations was 10.3 % with male gender, left side, and late-stage being most mutated, and these outcomes conform with severally published articles on FBXW7 mutation.
