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

In our previous study, low expression of FAM172A protein was found in colon cancer tissues. This research was planned to explore the functions of FAM172A gene and examine the mechanisms of its transcriptional regulation. Firstly, flow cytometry showed that FAM172A inhibited proliferation and promoted apoptosis and differentiation of colon cancer cells. Then through continuous truncation, we identified the minimal functional promoter region of FAM172A. Subsequently, we found that STAT1, as a transcription factor, could bind to the minimal FAM172A promoter, as evaluated using Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and Electrophoreticmobility shift assay (EMSA). The results of Western blot analysis and qRT-PCR indicated that STAT1 was able to upregulate the expression of FAM172A. Our results showed that FAM172A could suppress proliferation of colon cancer cells, and STAT1 could bind to the minimum promoter region of FAM172A and upregulated the expression of FAM172A. These results may provide advanced insights into the functions of FAM172A and its regulatory mechanisms.
