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

backgroundThe growing knowledge of long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) has suggested the role and predictive potential of LncRNA in cancer, but has not been translated into effective practical tools. The morbidity of colorectal cancer (CRC) has been declining because of effective screening tools. However, the mechanism of the disease is not well understood.

methodsThe LncRNAs that extracted using univariable Cox analysis were explored for the potential functions and applied for classification of LncRNA-derived subtypes of CRC. Multi-modal data involving microscope to macroscope levels were applied to evaluate the molecular, cell, and medical image characteristics of LncRNA-derived subtypes. Radiomic signature calculated by LASSO regression analysis was utilized for distinguishing the CRC subtypes. The performance of LncRNA and radiomic signature were assessed with respect to its calibration, discrimination, and clinical usefulness.

resultsThe LncRNA signature composed of 8 LncRNAs significantly associated with prognosis, metabolism, and organismal system showed good performance in patients’ prognosis assessment (AUC, 0.717; time-dependent ROC > 0.71). Patients separated into two subtypes (HRG vs. LRG) based on the LncRNA signature displayed notable prognostic differences (Kaplan-Meier, p < 0.001). Multi-modal analysis indicated obvious heterogeneity between HRG and LRG subgroups, mainly focused on the abnormal enrichment of glycerophospholipid metabolism pathway, different cellular differentiation, and density level characteristics in the tumor region. In addition, the radiomic signature showed good accuracy (AUC, 0.919), discrimination (p < 0.05), and generalization ability (external independent test cohort, p < 0.05) for LncRNA-derived subgroups assessment.

conclusionThis study described the multi-modal characteristics landscape of LncRNA-derived subtypes in CRC and strengthened the connection from microscope to macroscope levels.
