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

objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the relationship between fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) and the prognosis and immune infiltration of colorectal cancer (CRC) and identify the related genes and pathways influencing the onset and progression of CRC.

introductionThe potential of FGF19 to guide the prognosis of CRC and inform immunotherapeutic strategies warrants further investigation.

methodsWe performed Quantitative Real-Time PCR to assess the expression of FGF19 and conducted a bioinformatics analysis to evaluate the impact of FGF19 expression on the clinical prognosis of CRC. We also analyzed the association between FGF19 expression and immune cell infiltration in CRC, and explored the related genes and pathways through which FGF19 influences CRC development.

resultsCRC patients with higher FGF19 expression exhibited a poorer prognosis. In terms of the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC), FGF19 achieved an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.904. FGF19 expression correlated with the N stage, M stage, and pathological stage in patients with CRC. Functional enrichment analysis revealed significant enrichment of FGF19 in pathways associated with tumor development. ssGSEA and Spearman correlation analysis demonstrated that FGF19 expression was linked to tumor immune cells. We discovered that FGF19 is closely related to neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), which play a significant role in the immune microenvironment.

conclusionFGF19 is a key gene associated with immunity and prognosis in CRC patients. Our findings suggest that FGF19 may influence CRC progression by promoting NETs expression, which leads to suppression of immune cells.
