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) ranks among the most prevalent malignant neoplasms globally. A growing body of evidence underscores the pivotal roles of genetic alterations and dysregulated epigenetic modifications in the pathogenesis of CRC. In recent years, the reprogramming of tumor cell metabolism has been increasingly acknowledged as a hallmark of cancer. Substantial evidence suggests a crosstalk between tumor cell metabolic reprogramming and epigenetic modifications, highlighting a complex interplay between metabolism and the epigenetic genome that warrants further investigation. Biomarkers associated with the pathogenesis and metabolic characteristics of CRC hold significant clinical implications. Nevertheless, elucidating the genetic, epigenetic, and metabolic landscapes of CRC continues to pose considerable challenges. Here, we attempt to summarize the key genes driving the onset and progression of CRC and the related epigenetic regulators, clarify the roles of gene expression and signaling pathways in tumor metabolism regulation, and explore the potential crosstalk between epigenetic events and tumor metabolic reprogramming, providing a comprehensive mechanistic explanation for the malignant progression of CRC. Finally, by integrating reliable targets from genetics, epigenetics, and metabolic processes that hold promise for translation into clinical practice, we aim to offer more strategies to overcome the bottlenecks in CRC treatment.
