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

STRAP (serine-threonine kinase receptor-associated protein), a WD domain-containing 38.5 kDa protein, was first identified in TGF-ß signaling and participates in scaffold formation in numerous cellular multiprotein complexes. It is involved in the regulation of several oncogenic biological processes, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration/invasion, tumor initiation and progression, and metastasis. STRAP upregulation in epithelial tumors regulates several signaling pathways, such as TGF-ß, MEK/ERK, Wnt/β-Catenin, Notch, PI3K, NF-κB, and ASK-1 in human cancers, including colon, breast, lung, osteosarcoma, and neuroblastoma. The upregulation of STRAP expression is correlated with worse survival in colorectal cancer following post-adjuvant therapy. Strap knockout sensitizes colon tumors to chemotherapy, delays APC-induced tumor progression, and reduces cancer cell stemness. The loss of
