Syndecan-2 modulates the YAP pathway in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition-related migration, invasion, and drug resistance in colorectal cancer.
Article in Heliyon, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is associated with an invasive phenotype in colorectal cancer (CRC). Here, we examined the roles of YES-associated protein (YAP) and syndecan-2 (SDC2) in EMT-related progression, invasion, metastasis, and drug resistance in CRC. The expression levels of YAP and SDC2 in CRC patient tumor tissue were quantified by PCR and western blotting. EMT-associated characteristics were assessed using Transwell assays and immunohistochemistry. Co-immunoprecipitation, glutathione S-transferase pull-down, and luciferase reporter assays were used to assess interactions between YAP and SDC2. YAP was found to be highly expressed in tumor tissue from 13/16 CRC patients, while SDC2 was highly expressed in the tumor tissue of 12/16 CRC patients. Overexpression of YAP in colon cancer cells led to increased cell viability, invasion, migration, and oxaliplatin resistance demonstrating that YAP plays a role in EMT. In addition, overexpression of YAP led to decreased expression of the large tumor suppressor kinase 1 (LATS1) and mammalian sterile 20-like kinases (MST1/2). Decreased LATS1 expression was associated with increased levels of cell proliferation. Knockdown of YAP by shRNA interference led to decreased cell invasion, migration, and drug resistance in colon cancer cells and reduced tumorigenesis in a mouse xenograft model. Finally, we established that YAP interacted with SDC2, and demonstrated that SDC2 mediated the YAP pathway through the EMT-related factors BMP4, CTGF and FOXM1.
