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

backgroundColon cancer is a worldwide leading cause of cancer-related mortality, and the prognosis of colon cancer is still needed to be improved. This study aimed to construct a prognostic model for predicting the prognosis of colon cancer.

methodsThe gene expression profile data of colon cancer were obtained from the TCGA, GSE44861, and GSE44076 datasets. The WGCNA module genes and common differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were used to screen out the prognosis-associated DEGs, which were used to construct a prognostic model. The performance of the prognostic model was assessed and validated in the TCGA training and microarray validation sets (GSE38832 and GSE17538). At last, the model and prognosis-associated clinical factors were used for the construction of the nomogram.

resultsFive colon cancer-related WGCNA modules (including 1160 genes) and 1153 DEGs between tumor and normal tissues were identified, inclusive of 556 overlapping DEGs. Stepwise Cox regression analyses identified there were 14 prognosis-associated DEGs, of which 12 DEGs were included in the optimized prognostic gene signature. This prognostic model presented a high forecast ability for the prognosis of colon cancer both in the TCGA training dataset and the validation datasets (GSE38832 and GSE17538; AUC > 0.8). In addition, patients' age, T classification, recurrence status, and prognostic risk score were associated with the prognosis of TCGA patients with colon cancer. The nomogram was constructed using the above factors, and the predictive 3- and 5-year survival probabilities had high compliance with the actual survival proportions.

conclusionsThe 12-gene signature prognostic model had a high predictive ability for the prognosis of colon cancer.
