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

backgroundDiseases are often caused by multiple factors, angiogenesis-related genes (ARGs) have been shown to be associated with cancer, however, their role in colon cancer had not been fully explored. This study investigated potential biomarkers based on ARGs to improve prognosis and treatment effect in colon cancer.

methodsARGs associated with colon cancer prognosis were identified using Cox regression analysis and LASSO analysis. Furthermore, a prognostic model was constructed in colon cancer based on the 3 ARGs, and its biological function were analyzed. We evaluated the differences in tumor immune microenvironment based on prognostic signature. Finally, cell experiments confirmed the function of genes in colon cancer.

resultsThe prognostic value of ARGs in colon cancer patients has been comprehensively analyzed for the first time and identified 3 ARGs with prognostic values. A prognosis risk model was constructed based on 3 ARGs and its prognostic value was validated on an independent external colon cancer dataset. In colon cancer patients, this prognostic feature was an independent risk factor and was significantly correlated with clinical feature information of colon cancer patients. This feature was also related to the immune microenvironment of colon cancer. Cell experiments showed that high expression of TNF Receptor Superfamily Member 1B (TNFRSF1B) significantly promoted apoptosis and inhibited proliferation of colon cancer cells. Therefore, TNFRSF1B may become an important regulatory factor in the progression of colon cancer by participating in intracellular functional regulation.

conclusionsThis study constructed a prognostic risk model based on three ARGs and for the first time discovered that TNFRSF1B may become an important regulatory factor in cancer progression by participating in intracellular functional regulation.
