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) remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, characterized by a multi-step carcinogenesis process involving genetic mutations and epigenetic alterations. Despite advances in screening and therapy, challenges such as treatment resistance, recurrence, and metastasis persist. Emerging evidence highlights the critical role of epigenetic modifications, particularly N7-methylguanosine (m7G), in post-transcriptional regulation. This ubiquitous RNA modification participates extensively in tumor biological behaviors by regulating RNA stability, processing, and translation. Studies have shown that dysregulation of m7G modification is closely associated with adverse clinical outcomes in CRC. This review systematically summarizes the biological functions of m7G modification and its key regulatory proteins (such as METTL1/WDR4, eIF4E, etc.), with a focus on their roles in the pathogenesis, progression, prognosis, and diagnosis of, as well as therapy for, colorectal cancer. m7G modification and related molecules hold potential as novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets, thereby providing new strategies for the precision diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer.
