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

Colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) is the most common subtype of colorectal cancer, originating from glandular cells in the colon. Despite diagnostic and therapeutic advances, its prognosis remains poor. Copper, an essential micronutrient, is involved in tumorigenesis and other biological processes. In this study, we identified copper metabolism-related genes (CMRG) associated with COAD prognosis from TCGA and GEO databases and constructed a CMRG-based risk model. We assessed its clinical relevance through analyses of immune infiltration, immunotherapy response, and drug sensitivity. Single-cell sequencing revealed the spatial and cellular distribution of CMRG in COAD tissues, providing insight into their roles in the tumour microenvironment. COX19 was selected for further validation, and in vitro experiments (western blot, PCR, siRNA, colony formation, and Transwell assays) confirmed its role in promoting COAD cell invasion and proliferation. These findings highlight the involvement of copper metabolism in COAD progression and suggest potential targets for therapy.
