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

VICKZ proteins are a highly conserved family of RNA binding proteins, implicated in RNA regulatory processes such as intracellular RNA localization, RNA stability, and translational control. During embryogenesis, VICKZ proteins are required for neural crest migration and in adults, the proteins are overexpressed primarily in different cancers. We hypothesized that VICKZ proteins may play a role in cancer cell migration. In patients, VICKZ expression varies with tumour type, with over 60% of colon, lung, and ovarian tumours showing strong expression. In colorectal carcinomas (CRCs), expression is detected at early stages, and the frequency and intensity of staining increase with progression of the disease to lymph node metastases, of which 97% express the protein at high levels. Indeed, in stage II CRC, the level of VICKZ expression in the primary lesion correlates with the degree of lymph node metastasis. In culture, VICKZ proteins rapidly accumulate in processes at the leading edge of PMA-stimulated SW480 CRC cells, where they co-localize with beta-actin mRNA. Two distinct cocktails of shRNAs, each targeting all three VICKZ paralogues, cause a dramatic drop in lamellipodia and ruffle formation in stimulated cells. Thus, VICKZ proteins help to facilitate the dynamic cell surface morphology required for cell motility. We propose that these proteins play an important role in CRC metastasis by shuttling requisite RNAs to the lamellipodia of migrating cells.
