PRL-3 up-regulates exosomal ITGαvβ5 expression to promote liver pre-metastatic niche formation and colon cancer liver metastasis.

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
Liver pre-metastatic niches (PMN) formation is a pivotal process in colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CLM). Phosphatase of regenerating liver-3 (PRL-3) has been demonstrated as a key factor in promoting CRC progression (e.g., therapeutic resistance and metastasis), but its role in liver PMN formation remains unknown. Using mouse models and CRC patient samples, we herein reveal that high PRL-3 expression in CRC cells could enhance the recruitment of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) into the liver and impair the hepatic infiltration of CD8
