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 third most common type of cancer. In recent decades, genomic analysis has played an increasingly important role in understanding the molecular mechanisms of CRC. However, its pathogenesis has not been fully uncovered. Identification of genes related to CRC as complete as possible is an important way to investigate its pathogenesis. Therefore, we proposed a new computational method for the identification of novel CRC-associated genes. The proposed method is based on existing proven CRC-associated genes, human protein-protein interaction networks, and random walk with restart algorithm. The utility of the method is indicated by comparing it to the methods based on Guilt-by-association or shortest path algorithm. Using the proposed method, we successfully identified 298 novel CRC-associated genes. Previous studies have validated the involvement of the majority of these 298 novel genes in CRC-associated biological processes, thus suggesting the efficacy and accuracy of our method.
