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) is the second leading cause of malignancy-related death worldwide, representing a significant health concern. Understanding the disease pathogenesis and identifying potential prognostic biomarkers is critical for improving patients' clinical outcomes. Haemostatic components implicated in cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) seem to favour CRC progression. As such, genetic markers of thrombophilia might be potential prognostic biomarkers among patients with this malignant disease. To offer perspectives, a retrospective cohort study with 204 CRC patients was conducted to investigate the impact of seven germline haemostatic gene determinants on patient prognosis. A sex-stratified analysis was performed as the variants seem to have a distinct influence depending on the patient's sex. Genomic DNA was extracted from FFPE samples enriched in tumour cells. While the polymorphisms CNTN6 rs6764623 (CC/CA vs. AA; adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) = 0.44; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.20-0.96; P = 0.040), PTGS2 rs20417 (GG vs. CC/CG; aHR = 2.88; 95%CI, 1.10-7.51; P = 0.031) and RGS7 rs2502448 (TT vs. CT/CC; aHR = 2.35; 95%CI, 1.20-4.61; P = 0.013) were associated with the five-year risk of cancer recurrence, ITGB3 rs5918 was a predictor of the risk of death due to all causes, particularly among male patients (TT vs. CT/CC; aHR = 2.05; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.13-3.72; P = 0.019). While a sex-specific impact of the SNPs was observed, further investigation in larger cohorts, particularly with an increased representation of female patients, is required to confirm these associations. Collectively, these markers could help improve the prognosis assessment of CRC patients towards a more personalised intervention.
