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

backgroundThe CUGBP1 (CELF1) is differentially expressed in liver metastasis and no liver metastasis colorectal cancers (CRC) tissues and the function of CUGBP1 in CRC is still unclear.

methodsFive cases of colorectal adenocarcinoma and 6 cases of liver metastatic CRC lesions were collected and subjected to cDNA microarray and bioinformatical analyses. The quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to confirm the result. Cell function assays were used to study the function of CUGBP1, and the western blot was used to discover the change of the downstream molecules.

resultsCUGBP1 was significantly elevated in liver metastatic CRC lesions. Besides, the CUGBP1 can promote proliferation, colony formation, invasion, metastasis abilities as well as increase the apoptosis rates of CRC cells. ERBB2 was positively related to the CUGBP1. Western blot results found that silence of CUGBP1 decreased the protein level of p-AKT and p-ERK without influence the expression level of total protein of AKT and ERK.

conclusionsCUGBP1 can promote liver metastasis of CRC by promoting the phosphorylation of AKT and ERK through the ErbB signaling pathway. CUGBP1 is a potential biomarker for early detection of CRC and maybe a novel therapeutic target of CRC treatment, especially in liver metastasis.
