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

Colon cancer ranked third among the most frequently diagnosed cancers worldwide. Amino acid metabolic reprogramming was related to the occurrence and development of colon cancer. We looked for the amino acid metabolism genes (AMGs) associated with amino acid metabolism from molecular signatures database as prognostic markers and constructed amino acid metabolism scoring model (AMS). According to AMS, the patients were divided into high AMS and low AMS groups, and the prognostic characteristics, molecular phenotypes, somatic cell mutation characteristics, immune cell infiltration characteristics, and immunotherapy effect of the two groups were systematically analyzed. Finally, the compounds targeting AMGs were also screened. We screen out 6 prognostic AMGs (P < 0.05) and construct an AMS model based on them. K-M curve indicated that OS in low AMS group was significantly higher than that in high group (P < 0.05), which were validated in multiple datasets. And different AMS groups had different molecular phenotypes, somatic cell mutation characteristics and immune cell infiltration characteristics. Low AMS group had a better effect for immunotherapy. In addition, we predicted potential therapeutic compounds that could bind to AMGs target proteins. AMS model can be used as a hierarchical tool to evaluate the prognosis, immune infiltration characteristics and immunotherapy response ability of colon cancer. And the compounds screened based on AMGs may become new anti-tumor drugs.
