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

Here we confirmed that metastasis-associated in colon cancer 1 (MACC1) and β-catenin expression were higher in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells and tissues than those in normal colonic epithelial cell line and adjacent non-tumour colorectal mucosa (ANM) tissues, respectively. MACC1 expression was significantly related to histological differentiation (p<0.001), UICC stage (p=0.029), T classification (p=0.017), and N classification (p=0.023). Cox regression analysis demonstrated that high MACC1/abnormal β-catenin expression was the strongest independent prognostic indicator for reduced overall survival in CRC patients. Significant positive correlation between MACC1 expression and abnormal β-catenin expression was found in CRC tissues. MACC1 knockdown dramatically inhibited cellular proliferation, migration, invasion, colony formation, and tumorigenesis, both in vitro and in vivo, but induced apoptosis in CRC cells. Further MACC1 over-expression increased Met, β-catenin, and its downstream genes including c-Myc, cyclin D1, and MMP9 expression, and its upstream gene phos-GSK3β (Ser9) expression. In addition, MACC1 increased vimentin and suppressed E-cadherin in HCT116 cells. Silencing of MACC1 reversed all these changes. Our results firstly suggest that MACC1 plays an important role in carcinogenesis and progression of CRC through β-catenin signaling pathway and mesenchymal-epithelial transition.
