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

NSUN5, a gene encodes a cytosine-5 RNA methyltransferase, is rarely mentioned in cancers. Our study is the first one to evaluate the role of NSUN5 in the progression of colorectal cancer. Data from TCGA was used to show the different expression of NSUN5 between CRC tumor tissues and adjacent normal ones. The NSUN5 expression in the tissue microarray was detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC). qRT-PCR was conducted for NSUN5 expression examination in CRC cell lines. Cell proliferation was analyzed by the Celigo machine. GESA and correlation analysis were performed to reveal the possible underlying mechanism. The effects of NSUN5 expression on CRC cell behavior in vitro were analyzed by flow cytometry and β-galactosidase staining. The expression of cell-cycle related proteins were evaluated by western blot. Subcutaneously implanted tumor model was carried out for animal experiment. NSUN5 expression was up-regulated in CRC tumor tissues and cells, and associated with advanced tumor stages (III, IV). NSUN5 could promote cell proliferation, trigger cell cycle arrest in vitro and boost tumor growth in vivo. In addition, knockdown of NSUN5 could lead to a higher expression of Rb and a lower expression of CDK4, CDK6, p-Rb and CCNE1, but made no difference on P21, Bcl-2, caspase3 and C-Caspase3 of CRC cells. Taken together, we identify NSUN5 as a promoter in CRC development via cell cycle regulation.
