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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common malignant cancer. Epoxide hydrolases (EHs) are involved in the development of cancer by regulating epoxides, but their relationship with CRC is unclear. We used multiple datasets to confirm the expression of different EPHX family members in CRC tissues, and to explore their association with different clinicopathologic characteristics. The Kaplan-Meier method, correlation analysis and random forest algorithm were used to evaluate the prognostic value of EPHX family members for CRC. Finally, the cell experiment verified function of EPHX4 in CRC. The expressions of EPHX1 and EPHX2 were significantly decreased, while those of EPHX3 and EPHX4 were significantly increased in CRC. The expressions of EPHX family members were correlated with some clinicopathologic features and overall survival. The expressions of the EPHX family were positively associated with CD274, CTLA4, HAVCR2, and TIGIT. EPHX2 and EPHX4 were diagnostic and predictive biomarkers for CRC. EPHX4 promoted the malignant phenotype of CRC cells. Our study firstly elucidated the prognostic significance of EPHX family members in CRC and identified novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for CRC.
