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

Despite numerous studies, colon cancer is still one of the leading cancers in the world, both in terms of incidence and mortality. One of the most important methods of monitoring and studying changes in cancer is the use of biomarkers in the form of microRNA. Their remarkable stability and detectability in body fluids make them promising diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. This review highlights selected deregulated miRNAs in colorectal cancer, including miR-21, miR-29b, miR-148a, miR-149, miR-155, miR-194, and miR-200b and lesser known ones such as miR-6803-5p or miR-4772-3p. Deregulation of their expression in colon cancer is associated with abnormal cell proliferation, migration, changes in the microenvironment or response to treatment, caused by their involvement in such pathways as Wnt/β-catenin, PI3K/Akt or EGFR. Additionally, we explore their therapeutic potential, particularly their ability to enhance tumour sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents like 5-FU and oxaliplatin. The purpose of this review is to emphasize the growing relevance of miRNAs as both non-invasive diagnostic tools and potential therapeutic targets in colorectal cancer management.
