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

Introduction: Colorectal mucinous adenocarcinoma (MC) differs from adenocarcinoma (AD) in clinical features and molecular characteristics. The current treatment of colorectal MC is not precise enough, and the molecular characteristics remain unclear. The study aims to explore the difference between colorectal MC and AD on the transcriptome level for the possibility of treating colorectal MC precisely. Methods: The data of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database was assessed, and then differential analysis and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) were performed to identify the differential hub RNAs between colorectal MC and AD. Differential hub lncRNAs and hub RNA of significant modules were validated by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) among different colon cancer cell lines. Results: In total, 1680 differential expressed RNAs (DERs) were found by comparing colorectal MC (52, 13.3%) with AD (340, 86.7%). Through the WGCNA, a mucin-associated RNA module was identified, while some others might be associated with unique immune progress. Finally, 6 differential hub RNAs in the mucin-associated RNA module ( Conclusion: This study suggests that clinical treatments for colorectal MC should be differentiated from AD. Further exploration of enterocyte (goblet cell) differentiation with tumor genesis and the distinct immune progression of MC may help to identify key therapeutic targets for colorectal MC. Further research on the application of immunotherapy to colorectal MC is needed.
