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

backgroundMetastasis is a major cause of death in Colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, and the Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been known to be a crucial event in cancer metastasis. Downregulated expression of AT-rich interaction domain-containing protein 1A (ARID1A), a bona fide tumor suppressor gene, plays an important role in promoting EMT and CRC metastasis, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we evaluated the impact of ARID1A knockdown and overexpression on the expression of EMT‑related genes, E-cadherin and β-catenin, in human CRC cells. METHODS AND

resultsThe expression levels of ARID1A, E-cadherin and β-catenin in CRC cell lines were detected via real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) and western blot. ARID1A overexpression and shRNA-mediated knockdown were performed to indicate the effect of ARID1A expression on E-cadherin and β-catenin expression in CRC cell lines. The effect of ARID1A knockdown on the migration ability of HCT116 cells was assessed using wound-healing assay. We found that the mRNA and protein expression of adhesive protein E-cadherin was remarkably downregulated in response to shRNA-mediated ARID1A knockdown in HCT116 and HT29 cells. Conversely, overexpression of ARID1A in SW48 cells significantly increased E-cadherin expression. In addition, ARID1A silencing promoted the migration of HCT116 cells. ARID1A knockdown and overexpression did not alter the level of β-catenin expression.

conclusionsOur study demonstrates that E-cadherin levels were closely correlated with ARID1A expression. Thus, ARID1A downregulation may promote CRC metastasis through decreasing EMT‑related protein E-cadherin and promoting epithelial cell movement. ARID1A could represent a promising candidate therapeutic target for CRC.
