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

objectiveColorectal cancer (CRC) still has a poor prognosis and is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. Recently, a close correlation between glycolysis and the progression of CRC has been reported. Hence, explorations of the prognostic value of glycolysis-associated long noncoding RNAs in CRC patients are urgently needed. This study aimed to investigate the role of glycolysis-associated lncRNAs for predicting the prognosis and treatment response of CRC, thereby identifying more biomarkers for CRC.

methodsRNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data for CRC from The Cancer Genome Atlas database were used. A glycolysis-associated long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) signature was estimated by Cox regression analysis, and its predictive capacity was assessed by constructing a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and performing a gene set enrichment analysis.

resultsOne of our constructed glycolysis-related clusters was strongly correlated with an immunosuppressive tumor environment. Moreover, a signature consisting of 14 glycolysis-associated lncRNAs was used as a prognostic model, and CRC patients were classified into a low-risk group and a high-risk group based on the average risk score of this signature. In addition, the low-risk group experienced longer overall survival (OS) than the high-risk group. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) validated the sensitivity and specificity of the signature. The signature was identified as an individual element and was closely related to the progression of CRC. Finally, two glycolysis-associated lncRNAs, namely, TNFRSF10A-AS1 and ZKSCAN2-DT, were further clinically verified to effectively predict the prognosis of CRC patients.

conclusionGlycolysis-associated lncRNAs may be employed as prognostic and therapeutic biomarkers for CRC.
