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: Patients with colorectal cancer commonly experience disturbances in coagulation homeostasis. Activation of the coagulation system contributes to cancer-associated thrombosis as the second risk factor for death in cancer patients. This study intended to discover coagulation-related genes and construct a risk model for colorectal cancer patients' prognosis. Methods: Coagulation-related genes were identified by searching coagulation-related pathways in the Molecular Signatures Database. Transcriptomic data and clinical data were downloaded from the Cancer Genome Atlas and Gene Expression Omnibus datasets. Univariate Cox and backward stepwise regression were utilized to identify prognosis-related genes and construct a predictive risk model for the training cohort. Next, survival analysis determines the risk model's predictive power, correlation with clinicopathological characteristics, and nomogram. Additionally, we characterized the variances in immune cell infiltration, somatic mutations, immune checkpoint molecules, biological functions, and drug sensitivity between the high- and low-score patients. Result: Eight hundred forty-five genes were obtained by searching the theme term "coagulation" after de-duplication. After univariate regression analysis, 69 genes correlated with prognosis were obtained from the Cancer Genome Atlas dataset. A signature consisting of 17 coagulation-related genes was established through backward stepwise regression. The Kaplan-Meier curve indicated a worse prognosis for high-score patients. Time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve analysis demonstrated high accuracy in predicting overall survival. Further, the results were validated by two independent datasets (GSE39582 and GSE17536). Combined with clinicopathological characteristics, the risk model was proven to be an independent prognostic factor to predict poor pathological status and worse prognosis. Furthermore, high-score patients had significantly higher stromal cell infiltration. Low-score patients were associated with high infiltration of resting memory CD4 Conclusion: The prognostic signature of 17 coagulation-related genes had significant prognostic value for colorectal cancer patients. We expect to improve treatment modalities and benefit more patients through research on molecular features.
