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

backgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies and the second most common cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Despite extensive research, the mechanism underlying CRC development remains unclear. This study aimed to understand the development and progression of CRC.

methodsGene network analysis of tumors with their paired normal tissues was performed using the differentially expressed genes dataset for CRC from the Cancer Genome Atlas. Further investigation of the regulatory relationship between hub genes and tumor development was conducted by protein-protein interaction network, Gene Ontology enrichment, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses using the selected hub genes.

resultsThe network was more centered, and a common hub as well as a hub of hub genes were more connected to each other in the tumor than in the normal tissue, indicating changes in the network from normal to tumor. Eight downregulated and two upregulated hub genes (CDK1 and KIF11) in the tumor were identified. Further, the regulatory pathway was altered, especially in cell cycle and cell division. All R implementation codes are available on the journal website as supplementary materials.

conclusionsOur findings may help understand the biological processes underlying tumor development and progression and suggest CDK1 and KIF11 as possible key molecules in the development of CRC.
