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 a common gastrointestinal malignancy, and recurrence and metastasis contribute considerably to its high mortality. It is well known that the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) accelerates the rate of cancer cell dissemination and migration, thus promoting cancer metastasis. Targeted therapy is a common modality for cancer treatment, and it can play a role in inhibiting cancer progression. In this study, bioinformatics was used to search for genes associated with the prognosis of CRC. First, differential analysis was performed on colon and rectal cancer samples to obtain 2,840 and 3,177 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), respectively. A Venn diagram was then used to identify 262 overlapping genes from the two groups of DEGs and EMT-related genes. The overlapping genes were subjected to batch survival analysis and batch expression analysis successively, and nine genes were obtained whose high expression in CRC led to a poor prognosis. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) prognostic model was then constructed to obtain the risk score formula. A nomogram was constructed to seek prognostic independent factors to obtain CDKN2A. Finally, CCK-8 assay, flow cytometry and western blotting assays were performed to analyze the cellular biological function of CDKN2A. The results showed that knockdown of CDKN2A expression inhibited HT-29 cell proliferation, promoted apoptosis and cell cycle progression, and affected the EMT process in CRC.
