Assessment of the TGFB1 gene expression and methylation status of the promoter region in patients with colorectal cancer.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of the TGFB1 gene encoding the TGF-β1 cytokine in 64 patients, and then to compare it with clinico-pathological features. The study also investigated whether the regulation of the gene expression is caused by methylation of the promoter region between - 235 and + 22 nucleotide from the start of transcription. The dependence of the relative level of the TGFB1 gene expression on the clinical advancement according to the TNM classifications was shown. Additionally, the individual grades of the T and M features of the TNM classification differed in the relative transcript levels of the TGFB1 gene. Moreover, the higher relative expression level of the studied gene was associated with a lack of vascular invasion by cancer cells and presence of lymphocytes in the neoplastic tissue. The obtained results may indicate a possible impact of the gene on the process of carcinogenesis in colorectal cancer and reduction of its expression level may be one of the factors contributing to progression of the disease.
