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

purposeThis study aimed to investigate the clinical significance of E-cadherin expression levels in colorectal cancer tissues and explore the relationship between E-cadherin expression and tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage. The goal was to establish a more accurate prognostic prediction for colorectal cancer patients by analyzing E-cadherin expression levels alongside TNM staging.

methodsThe study examined colorectal cancer patients by dividing them into groups based on E-cadherin expression levels. It then assessed their 5-year event-free survival (EFS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) hazard ratios (HRs). Additionally, the prognosis of patients was analyzed by combining E-cadherin expression levels with TNM staging, particularly focusing on patients in stages III and IV.

resultsThe E-cadherin

conclusionsLow levels of E-cadherin expression are associated with a poor prognosis and decreased survival in colorectal cancer patients. Combining E-cadherin expression levels with TNM staging provides a more precise prediction of patient prognosis and survival, potentially guiding personalized treatment strategies.
