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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most prevalent malignancy worldwide and the second leading cause of cancer-associated deaths, posing a significant threat to human health. Given the limited therapeutic options and poor prognosis associated with CRC, there is an urgent need to develop new targeted therapeutic strategies to enhance clinical outcomes. The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS), a central regulator for cellular protein homeostasis, plays a pivotal role in the initiation and progression of CRC. The UPS modulates several essential signaling pathways and is involved in regulating tumor immunity and resistance to chemotherapy. Thus, the UPS contributes significantly to the complex biological processes underlying CRC pathogenesis. In recent years, small-molecule compounds targeting the UPS have exhibited considerable therapeutic potential in CRC treatment. These drugs intervene in crucial steps in the UPS, such as the activity of E1, E2, and E3 enzymes, or directly target the proteasome, thereby regulating the degradation of oncogenic proteins and effectively impeding tumor progression. Moreover, emerging therapeutic strategies such as proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) and molecular glue technologies selectively degrade specific oncogenic proteins, thereby offering new avenues and promising opportunities for CRC treatment.
