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

backgroundSessile serrated lesions (SSLs) account for 15% of colorectal cancers (CRCs) but detection remains difficult due to flat morphology, mucinous features, and subtle histology.

aimsThis study aimed to identify novel and functionally relevant biomarkers of SSLs using transcriptomic screening and multi-omics validation.

methodsPaired SSL and normal mucosa specimens (n = 6) underwent RNA sequencing. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were filtered for membrane or secretory proteins and validated across TCGA and adenoma transcriptomes. Functional significance was assessed using CRISPR dependency profiling, proteotranscriptomic concordance, pharmacogenomic sensitivity, and connectivity map analysis.

resultsWe identified 216 upregulated genes in SSLs, including 68 encoding secretory/membrane proteins that better discriminated SSLs from controls and were enriched for adhesion and neuronal signaling while suppressing TNFα-NFκB inflammatory pathways. Cross-cohort comparison revealed five overlapping candidates between SSLs and TCGA CMS1 tumors. Among them, S100P emerged as the primary biomarker candidate, showing consistent upregulation in SSLs and CMS1 tumors while remaining low in normal mucosa and conventional adenomas. TFF1 also showed RNA-level upregulation but appeared more context-dependent. S100P demonstrated strong RNA-protein concordance in CRC cell-line profiling, supporting its detectability as a biomarker candidate. Pharmacogenomic profiling of LS411N cells revealed marked sensitivity to SN-38 and fluoropyrimidines, consistent with serrated CRC vulnerabilities. Connectivity map analysis identified perturbations, including MAPK1 and histone acetyltransferase suppression, that may reverse parts of the SSL transcriptional program.

conclusionThese findings prioritize S100P as a promising biomarker candidate for SSLs that warrants further validation in larger cohorts and clinically applicable platforms.
