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

In this study, we investigated the role of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit G (EIF3G) in colorectal cancer. Immunohistochemical analysis showed higher EIF3G expression in stage IV human colorectal cancer tissues than in adjacent normal tissues (P<0.01). EIF3G short hairpin RNA (shRNA) knockdown in HCT116 colon cancer cells reduced proliferation and increased apoptosis as compared to control. EIF3G knockdown also increased autophagy and reduced mTOR signaling, as evidenced by low phospho-AKT, phospho-S6K and phospho-4EBP1 levels. Functional experiments indicated that overexpression of EIF3G promoted HCT-116 cells proliferation, migration and xenograft tumor growth. Finally, we observed lower xenograft tumor weights and volumes with EIF3G-silenced HCT116 cells than with control cells. These findings demonstrate that EIF3G promotes colon cancer growth and is a potential therapeutic target.
