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

Mutations in components of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway are commonly found in colorectal cancers, and these mutations cause aberrant expression of genes controlled by Wnt-responsive DNA elements (WREs). While the c-Myc proto-oncogene (Myc) is required for intestinal phenotypes associated with pathogenic Wnt/β-catenin signaling in vivo, the WREs that control Myc expression in this setting have yet to be fully described. Previously, we demonstrated that the Myc 3' WRE was required for intestinal homeostasis and intestinal repair in response to damage. Here, we tested the role of the Myc 3' WRE in intestinal tumorigenesis using two independent mouse models. In comparison to Apc(Min/+) mice, Apc(Min/+) Myc 3' WRE(-/-) mice contained 25% fewer tumors in the small intestine. Deletion of the Myc 3' WRE(-/-) in the Apc(Min/+) background resulted in 4-fold more colonic tumors. In a model of colitis-associated colorectal cancer, the Myc 3' WRE suppressed colonic tumorigenesis, most notably within the cecum. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation and transcript analysis of purified colonic crypts, we found that the Myc 3' WRE is required for the transcriptional regulation of Myc expression in vivo. These results emphasize the critical role of the Myc 3' WRE in maintaining homeostatic Myc expression.
