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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesThis study aims to characterize PI3K and TP53 pathway alterations in Hispanic/Latino patients with early-onset colorectal cancer (CRC), focusing on potential differences compared to non-Hispanic White patients. Understanding these differences may shed light on the molecular basis of CRC health disparities.

methodsUsing cBioPortal, we conducted a bioinformatics analysis to evaluate CRC mutations within the PI3K and TP53 pathways. CRC patients were stratified by age and ethnicity: (1) early-onset (< 50 years) versus late-onset (≥ 50 years) and (2) early-onset in Hispanic/Latino patients compared to early-onset in non-Hispanic White patients. Mutation frequencies were assessed using descriptive statistics, with chi-squared tests comparing proportions between early-onset Hispanic/Latino and non-Hispanic White groups. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were generated to assess overall survival for early-onset Hispanic/Latino patients, stratified by the presence or absence of PI3K and TP53 pathway alterations.

resultsSignificant differences were noted when comparing early-onset CRC in Hispanic/Latino patients to early-onset CRC in non-Hispanic White patients. PI3K (47.1% vs. 35.2%, p = 9.39e-3) and TP53 (89.1% vs. 81.7%, p = 0.04) pathway alterations were more prevalent in early-onset CRC among Hispanic/Latino patients, with AKT1 (5.1% vs. 1.8%, p = 0.03), INPP4B (4.3% vs. 1.4%, p = 0.04), and TSC1 (7.2% vs. 3.1% p = 0.03) gene alterations also significantly higher in this group. Significant differences were observed in TP53 mutations between colon adenocarcinomas (90% vs. 79.1%, p = 0.03), with higher prevalence in Hispanic/Latino patients when stratified by tumor site. No significant differences were observed between early-onset and late-onset CRC patients within the Hispanic/Latino cohort.

conclusionsThese findings highlight the distinct role of PI3K and TP53 pathway disruptions in early-onset CRC among Hispanic/Latino patients, suggesting that pathway-specific mechanisms may drive cancer health disparities. Insights from this study could inform the potential development of precision medicine approaches and targeted therapies aimed at addressing these disparities.
